About Me

lifelong student, activist and music maker/appreciator. just trying to make myself a better person, day by day.

My Interests

sounds, a big dancefloor with an amazing system, being near the ocean, hiking mountains, loving my friends and family, devouring books, wandering and traveling, random information, cooking enormous meals, riding on motorcycles, talkin politics, funky beats...mmm...beats.

I'd like to meet:

- Other DJs, producers, artists and music heads in general - people with big hearts and open minds

Music:

good music is good music! Marvin Gaye, Al Green, Fela Kuti, Billie Holiday, Johnny Cash, Madlib, Donald Byrd, Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, Jorge Ben Jor, Black Star, Joni Mitchell, Larry Levan, Masters at Work, KRS-One, MC Lyte, Baden Powell, Thomas Mapfumo, Irakere, Django Reinhardt, Willie Colon, Bjork, Miles Davis, Capleton, Os Mutantes, Quantic, Led Zeppelin, Danny Krivit, Seu Jorge. eclectic sounds to make you think, shake your ass, or just chill.

Movies:

I love them, sometimes I help to make them, but I just don't get to watch a lot of them.

Television:

huh? what's that?

Books:

I read all the time, that's what I do for a living. Anything from Plato to Don DeLillo, Lao Tzu to Jhumpa Lahiri, James Joyce to James Baldwin to Joyce Carol Oates, Ralph Ellison to T.S. Elliot, Pablo Neruda to Isabel Allende. Everything in between and everything outside.
