About Me


I’m mixed race, father is Trinidadian (also mixed), and mother is British. I grew up listening to a varied genre of music, from dub, classical, reggae, Latin, African, calypso, soca, lover’s rock, jazz, blues, funk, R&B, soul, rock, Arabic, and a whole lot more. I now enjoy a broad appreciation of music and my mind is always open to something new. Born in London UK, in the weird (yet wonderful) year of 1967, why do I say weird… well I remember emerging from that weightless liquid cocoon and thinking to myself “damn this is a weird year to be born”. Well think about it. 1967 saw the words ‘bell bottom’ added to the dictionary, the film ‘The Graduate’ came out, the first heart transplant was performed, and coincidentally, The Beatles album ‘Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band’ was released. I was told by my mother that she played this album endlessly during her last month of pregnancy… this explains a lot… yeah I had a womb with a view, and headphones of course! I think it is an understatement to say that I dance to the beat of a different drummer… I have my own rhythm, a rhythm that happily blends with other likeminded souls. Have lived in Paris, New York, Milan, and Madrid, and traveled extensively. Favourite island in the world to date is St. Barts, favourite city is Barcelona. Currently living in Cyprus which is a beautiful island steeped in history, and filled with passionate people, this is good.

My Interests

Lots and then some, but briefly… people, light banter, deep conversation, quick wit and repartee, being creative, traveling, learning, music, dance, movies, lyrics, writing, property, investing, architecture, photography, reading, health & fitness, having fun… did I say but briefly!
