About Me

NOTEBOOK NOISE by definition or broken down.NOTEBOOK: Refering to the poetic aspect of the journey. Trying to never, ever, use a 'ready made phrase'. Me likes things original, especially words.NOISE: Refering to what people used to say about rap music when i was growing up. You know, "turn that crap off, how can you listen to that noise?"[so the name]NOTEBOOK NOISE tries to pay homage to all those who have brought me here, it is also a metaphor for coming out of ones shell. Notebooks are reserved and shy and noise can be anything.THE NEW CD "Snares, Hooks and Rhyme Books" Coming soon
