Brooklyn Baby

About Me

music layout @ HOT FreeLayouts.comFirst generation American, born of a Garifuna family from Honduras. I grew up in Scotchtown, NY until i left for a short stint in the US Navy in the early 90's and then to Brooklyn, NY. Even thou music has always been a big part of my life in Brooklyn is where i really started to get involved in the music scene. Meeting people like Richard, Kwame and Kes all great guitarist with different style helped me to hone my skills and give me confidence to pursue my dream. From there i saved money and moved to Honduras to learn the music native to my people (Paranda and Punta Rock) playing with other family members in Maguni Band, Travesia Bois and with other local musicians ( BIG UP Travesia & Baja Mar).Currently im in SW Florida where i met up with some great musicians who are helping me bring my music to life.
