About Me

I don't really know why I'm writing this, maybe because I found it entertaining to read others bio and thought I would return the favor.. I hate describing/defining myself, it for the most part ends up sounding cheesy and self important, but I'm not at a place where I have people to write something unrealistically incredible about me, so I guess I have to stick with reality and write something myself.. Oh well here we go! I'm originally from Copenhagen, Denmark but moved over here to surround myself with the music I love( see, it's already a little cheesy). My Mom is Senegalese and Danish, my Dad is a true viking strait out of Scandiland, I grew up in a house where jazz were the religion according to my Dad. And when my Mom sometimes tried to sneak The Carpenters on the record player it was not without a little contempt showing in my Dads eyes.. But when he went to bed my Mom would have a little "dance off" with Ladysmith Black Mambazo and Harry Belafonte (she sometimes still does).. So I guess all this jazz, Afro and Pop lead me to where I am musically today, I guess?
