About Me

I love to think. I love to use my brain. I love to dance. I can dance all night long. When I was younger I used to battle people in the clubs. I still battle in the clubs sometimes. I'm in the music biz. I used to be the San Diego rep for Virgin Records. I also used to work for an indie label called PC Music. I've done promotions for other labels as well as clubs. I run a management company called Powerhouse. I just started a label with the same name. I spend alot of time in my studio. I'm spending a lot of time learning to play the keyboard. Most of the time, if I run into some money, I make a path to Guitar Center or online to Sweetwater.com to get some more gear for the studio. ....I love action sports. I ride BMX...............I have a thing for shoes. The first thing I look at on a woman is her shoes. If I wasn't in the music biz I would design shoes and handbags. I do plan to start a company that does just that in 2 years The Clothing company is first and that will jump off in a few months.....I'm a goof ball unless I have to be serious, life is too short to be serious all of the time.... Yes my hair is real and no it's not dreaded. I'm not into corn rolls and I'll never cut it again.I have a 8 year old son Devin who means everything to me. Being a parent changed me. Whenever I'm in a bad mood, when I see my kid smile at me, I become happy and my problems are gone. His mother and I broke up 9 years ago and he doesn't care since he see's me almost every day. I guess the drag about being a parent is making your kid do stuff he doesn't want to do.....I love to cook almost as much as I love to eat. but now I'm cooking and eating heathty so I can look sexy.. LOL..
