About Me


View my page on SoulCommune
Ummm where do I begin...I'm chilled to the max and if u don't understand you just won't...I've held various titles in my life...from artist manager to club manager to promoter to entertainment photographer... As a child I wanted to be in the music industry with one goal in mind and that was to meet my favorite singer CHAKA KHAN... In Philly 1992 at the IAAAM music convention that dream became a reality...I'd been chillin with Alyson Williams who recorded with Def Jam back n the day...I'd been her photographer at the BRE convention in New Orleans that same year...and something told me to go down to the hotel lobby... I walked over to the front desk and looked out the door...this swankin white limo had jst pulled up...out stepped Chaka... ok so why was i nervous...lol...by this time i'd mixed n mingled n photographed n partied with some of the hottest musician and singers around...and quiet a few of my photographs were in the in various trade and teen magazines... I had to talk myself n to actin normal...so all I did was got on the elevator with her...dang sounds like stalker tendencies...lol... didn't tell her that i'd been waitin all my life to meet her...noooooo i told her that i loved her and that we shared the same b'day...i can't even remember what she said...later that same evening at the awards dinner i'd been back to my hotel room to retrieve my cd for her to autograph... i'd been mingling around photographing the event...and made my way over to her table...less nervous now... She was there to accept an award called the Diamond Award...as usual she was in all black...i approached her with my gold shake up pen so she could chakasize my cd...she gladly accepted the cd and pen... she took off the top and gold ink dripped on her blouse...O M G...I was like oh lawd...and apologized twice...and u know what she said to me in true Aries fashion..."don't worry about it Shyt happens..." So I am proud to say that Chaka accepted her award with my gold pen ink dottin her black shirt...lol... Anyway I love reading(J California Cooper, Eric Jerome Dickey...Octavia Bulter, jst to name a few of my favs)...the beach... taking pics..erykah badu and good music...intelligent convo...I'm silly and sarcastic...go figure... I pride myself on my strong positive vibe...and respect of others...I'm a motivator and care taker by nature...I walk around the house with all the lights out and incent burning and music playing... www.neosoulcafe.com is the best thing i've discovered this year, music there is on point... I'm a peaceful person...zero tolerance for drama... And if i Love you u have a friend for life...
