I was born in Lima, Peru, South America - about a mile and a half away from the Pacific Ocean (Miraflores district). My family moved to the U.S. in 1970, when I was a toddler and after a brief stay in NYC, I spent my early childhood in Rahway (EXIT 12), New Jersey.That's right Jersey and I'm damn proud. That city taught me alot about friendship, different cultures & races and helped shape who I am now and how I think. We moved to N.C. in 1978 and have been in the Raleigh area ever since, my family and friends are here and I cherish them deeply ! I also spent a few years in upstate NY, Rochester area.
Since the late 80's I've been heavily involved in the Raleigh Metal / Alt. Rock music scene. I'm a musician, my Dad was a huge Classical music fan and turned me onto lots of incerdible music early on, as well as my Mom. I started out tinkering on the electric Organ at home, played the trumpet in grade school, I sang in chorus in middle school (even mad all-county one year) THEN, I discovered my soul-speak, the Guitar when I was 14, first song I ever learned on Guitar was Black Sabbath's Iron Man, from then I was hooked... I love a ton of music. I exclusively play DEAN Cadillacs, Mesa/Boogie amplifiers and Alvarez Acoustics (Best in the World). I LOVE HEAVY music in most of its sub-genres and I write/compose songs from a wide range of influences. Music really is my world, I immerse myself in it completely, it's my life !
I somehow manage to surround myself by a sea of turbulent chaos, eventually leading to an island of calm... that seems to be my cycle !I believe in miracles, you know, from the old 1970's tune !
I'm an Existentialist, I enjoy thinking in a progressive way. I've made mistakes, we all have, you move on and try to do/be better.I'm a Lover, the feeling of being in Love with your true soulmate is indescribable. Mistakes aside, I have loved deeply and for that I'm grateful. I truly believe in Kama Sutra and Tantric Love.
These days I stay optimistic as I most always have, it's in my nature, I'm a huge social creature but I stay true to myself as I'm a staunch realist. There are tons of people on this planet out to take what is not theirs, I am not one of them. I think I'm a fun and friendly human being, I love my family and friends very much !
Enemies beware !!!
