"FUNKI GLOBAL MEDINA!"

About Me

I love music, it's been conditioning the spirit since pre-birth.The word INSPIRATION means something different for us all. It can be to stimulate, to motivate, to encourage, influence, rouse, stir, energise, galvanise, maybe even to arouse, awaken, prompt, to kindle, to uplift, to goad, spur, to muse, to creatively visualise a purpose and aim in what you do, and how you do it, and to do it with every positive intention with respect for all and everything involved within the process. Inspiration is continuously given and most often recieved. When it is given, it is unconsciously done, when it is recieved it fuels whatever path you are on.I am a strong believer in the collective self, which in practice means I do not see myself as just an individual. I see myself as being part of a collective of interconnecting communities and in order to invest in myself I believe I must actively contribute to the development of the cultural, social, familial and professional communities to which I belong.THE MISSION:An inquisitive Universal Journalist, DJ and Radio Presenter and involved within various Social intitiatives in between contracts. Introduced his distinctive love for funky World-Dance Conscious sound to XSE Radio in 2005 with the innovative 'Global Beat' show entitled INFUSION. He is never comfortable doing just one thing and is continuously available as a Life coach, TV Presenter, Host / Compere, Journalist, DJ, Writer, Voiceover artist, Music Producer, and all round restless creative!
