Personal:
Every morning I give thanks for life and music which are one/the same.
I am Southern ambition, hungry for achievement, and restless until I get it...I hustle.
I appreciate silence, understanding that when my spirit is calm, I can learn...I listen.
I acknowledge that everyone in my life is both my teacher and classmate;
I value my elders and try to grow from their experiences...Im humble.
I was born Ecuadorian/Cherokee/White, raised in an Israeli household, grew up in a Caribbean community, and became the cultural melting pot that is Miami Dade County...Im diverse.
I love the ocean, the Tropical breezes that provide its accompaniment, South Florida sunsets, and early mornings when the water breathes gently...Im passionate. But,
I'm also the lion defending its pride, a man of honor guarding real principles, a say-the-wrong-thing-and-I-may-just-have-to-help-you-sit-the-
f...down type of muhf...well, I should tell you...Im fierce.
I like to rationalize, but stay creative; Sometimes I whisper and scream two different things at the same time and still expect you to know exactly, what it is, that I mean; I may speak in pictures, think in music, cry in silence, and laugh in an undercover smile...
Im abstract... definitely an interesting Capricorn. While I may be all these things, Im not only these things; tomorrow you may get another season...tomorrow I may want to wear gold sneakers...Im unique...yeh...nice.
