About Me

Greetings everyone, Thanks for stopping by my page and listening to my music. It means so much to me that I'm able to reach, inspire and touch people through my poetry and my music. The networking possibilities on myspace is unlimited. I recently added two new songs on my page. Well, technically, the songs are not new, but YOU HAVEN'T heard them yet, so they are new to you. The two tunes are "The Saga Of Drama" and "What Happened To The Music?" featuring Telisha Lee aka know as SEVIIN, both produced by yours truly. Both of the songs appeared on my second poetry release called "EKLIPSE." Feel free to check them out. The other songs listed here are going to appear on my up and coming project
"She Could Be My Wife" currently appears on Lamar Harris's CD "Your All." It's a great compilation of jazz, hip-hop and poetry. Lamar Harris is producing my next CD scheduled from release in December. Feel free to add "SHE Could Be My Wife" to your site. Respect.
