I Like Big Cuts And I Cannot Lie!

About Me

I have roots in Ghana & Liberia, but I was born in chilly Sweden 1981 on a late September evening.. My dad was a respected percussionist (has played with the legendary african fusion group Osibisa & also with fellow percussionist Ahmadu Jah) & my mom a respected dancer (she opened for The Rolling Stones on their world tour in Stockholm, Sweden in 1995) & what am I? An '78-'82-loving-music-teacher & a misinterpreted singer/songwriter?

My "Best Of Prince"-list... Don't hate.

My homie asked me what my favourite Prince song was. I couldn't give him a straight answer since The Artist is THE ARTIST, obviously having the most amazing backcatalog ever... But...
