About Me

Music!I write beats and loop funky Rhythms into musical masterpieces!!! It keeps me going...makes me happy. Love the rock and roll! and jazz too (Ornette Coleman, Charlie Parker, Monk, Charles Mingus). I'm into record store shopping, reading books about aliens or rock stars and their over indulgent and tragic lives, watching movies about zombies or martians, the beach (venice), going to shows/concerts. I write and program alot of electronic music in an attempt to make the world dance. But the thing I like most is being at home.It's nice to just relax and kick back without having to be anywhere or doing anything. I work @ a bar and I dj once a week (which I love) so I'm not really too into going out lately. But I'm usually down for whatever. Traveling is awesome too. wish I could do more of it. I also bartend @ a place called The Broadway Bar downtown. I make an awesome mojito!!! MyGen Profile Generator
