The magical qualities in different musical sounds makes me really happy
I've pretty much loved music ever since forever but what especially sticks out in my mind is when my mama quizzed me on her old funk, soul and disco records rewarding me with gift of musical knowledge or 50 cents as she liked to call it. I stay grounded through "doing" music, be it talking about the sociocultural context it was created in, the sounds of it, and even the way it makes people feel. Growing up in the the ever laid back San Diego area I have always found the musical qualities in different sounds enlightening and inspiring. I started my musical journey on the drums when I was 13 and continued to connect my rooted need for percussion in my life following in my dad and uncle's footsteps on the drums. I've been really influenced by early 90’s hip hop and RnB, Latin jazz & percussion, 70's + 80's rare-grooves, Motown soul, punk and reggae. Drums are my first love but I love to get down on the mic and sing really anything jazzy.
