About Me

I'm 18 and live in the beating heart of South London. I'm pretty British, with a little Peruvian blood too. Just finished my A-levels in sciences/maths, results through shortly! If they're good enough, I'll be studying medicine for the next half a decade or so at Oxford University or Birmingham University. I do quite a bit non-academically, including playing piano/saxophone for quite a few bands, rapping, preaching and even some breakdancing.

First and foremost my allegiance and life is to Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Thanks to the lads, I'm not even going to attempt to list you here, you know who you are and you rock. Aight.

Peace out people, both family and friends, you are all excellent. ..

Here's me (maybe one day) ..

My Interests

Christianity, Science (especially medical), Music, Current Affairs, dance, literature, politics, religion in general, 20th century history, computer games (although I've sort of stopped now), just chilling with friends (I'm almost certain this comes up on every myspace profile ever created)

I'd like to meet:

People with similar interests.
Or people who enjoy jumping into rivers as shown in this clip ..

Music:

My musical tastes, lyrically presented

In hip hop I'm feeling Talib and Mos,
And I veer more toward the East Coast,
Common and Saul Williams, and of course Nas,
And anyone who chats sense in their bars.
In terms of jazz, of course there's Coltrane,
And Miles Davis in Sketches of Spain,
I maintain that Bill Evans is top,
And that the coolness of Kirk Whalum don't stop.
Next in this roll, soul's what I'm looking at,
Like Isley Brothers who's harmonies were all fat,
Stevie of course is greazy, for sheezy,
Erykah, Jill, James and Marvin - it's easy.
Gospel I'm onto, and here's what I'm feeling,
Franklin and Hammond make you jump fo' the ceiling,
And while you're reeling, from these gospel sensations,
Got LCGC, Raymond repping the UK nation.
Classical is up next, don't you haters get vexed,
Vaughan Williams and Barber gonna make you hit the deck,
John Williams producing, John Rutter is cruising,
Pay attention of it's you who'll be losing.
Onto electronic, Groove Armada cooler than sonic,
Zero 7 and 4Hero offer a chilled tonic,
London Elektricity and Peshay beats are chronic,
Same with Hed Kandi's stuff - you gotta get on it.
Rock, back to the starting block,
Beatles and Hendrix can't take a knock,
Delirious and U2 nobody can mock,
If you think I hated it, this'll give you a shock.
Wish I could put in quite a few more,
Red Precise, Da TRUTH, Phanatik bringing it raw,
MJ, Kanye, Angie S, fo' sure,
But this is the end, until my encore.
Seen.

Ok, in no particular order - Citizen Kane, The Shawshank Redemption, Saving Private Ryan, The Elephant Man, The Remains of the Day, The Green Mile, Bowfinger, The Naked Gun (1, 2.5 and 33 1/3), Schindler's List, The Mission, Montypython (Brian and Grail),

Tozer, Anthony Horowitz (back in the day he was my number one!), Philip Pullman (check out the famouss His Dark Materials trilogy, also the 4 detective novels, excellent books), Melvin Burgess (although he can get kinda depressing), quite a few poetry books, and The Economist and New Scientist for magazines.

Jesus Christ, Apostle Paul, Art Katz, Leonard Ravenhill, all the missionaries who have gone before,
