"Wood"

Get this video and more at MySpace.comFrom the depths of the South, deep like bayous and swamps arose the musically poetic stylings of Hollywood. A New Orleans visionary who has propelled through the elements of entertainment and artistry, embracing the roles of author, producer, singer, song writer, director, promoter, and MC/host.As an artist, I have used words, music, energy and showmanship to capture the essence and passion of life, artistically believing that to have such a relationship with art is also a responsibility to share it with the world and preserve it for generations.As a musician, I believe in the power of music and that all artists are gifted human beings with a silent oath to uplift the world around them. No stage too small, no lights too bright, no audience unworthy; every stage deserves my best performance. I believe in the power and magic of performance, to make an audience not only hear but also feel each word, note, and expression.As a host, I believe in the audience and the entertainer, making both feel comfortable with each other is an equation that always yields a positive result. It is a responsibility of the host to transmit the energy that fuels the atmosphere. Ultimately, entertainer, audience, and host merge to interact and inspire one another with the sounds of our existence.As an individual, I believe in loving life, living life, loving self, and having no boundaries. Romance the world around you, be honest, genuine, and welcome positive changes that serve and move our community forward. The best way to predict the future is to create it.Internationally featured Performance Spoken Word Artist, published author & poet.
