About Me

Sup? Welcome to my little hut:

Ahmed (pronounced: ah-med, NOT pronounced "Akhh-mat"). Born to a Ghanaian Father and Filipina Mother, bred in South London, UK.

I'm a third year student at Oxford Brookes University studying BA (Hons) Politics and Japanese.
I'm all for being in new places; despite what we all share, its still a big world. By the age of 30 I would have bought an island in the Philippines and raised my own tribe of savage-skilled spoken poets! (haha!)the story aint over till its over.. so i'll leave the following part blank for now...peace!

My Interests

spending time with good mates n true family, music production and composition (i made the track u're hearin right now), reading and writing, football (the american type, not exactly physically made for "soccer" football if u get me), the progressive acquisition of knowledge (one confirmed Dr Faust here), playing a few musical instruments (djembe, gamelan, guitar, thumb piano, talking drum, derbakeh), meetin real people, exploring new avenues in life while keepin my head
