OF A (TRUE) NERD.

So, if you got to this point something about me intrigues you. So, what can I offer?????? Me actually talking about me and not some boring bio.

CAUTION----I am NOT politically correct!

My story goes like this. I grew up in Pittsburgh and Aliquippa Pennslyvania. I'm the oldest AND WEIRDEST of 4 brothers and sisters. I'm what you call the "family reject" or "Black Sheep of the family and community.....So, that's why I left at 18 AND NEVER CAME BACK!!!!

The one thing that I'm most proud of is that I have NEVER! NEVER---had a "Day job." I never was a waiter, salesperson or went to work everyday to have some stupid boss have control over me in fear of loosing an underpaid-overworked... job. I have ALWAYS done my music and my art-simply because I love it and there's nothing I ever wanted to do with me life! Yeah, it's been a struggle; I have had every utility turned off, I've borrowed money, I have paid every bill late at one time, faced the rejection from celebrities, agents, other musicians and perspective clients BUT the Grand Daddy of it all....I woke up one morning and guess what girls and boys....Mr. Repo man took my car! That day was awful. I had to lie to my girlfriend at the time for 3 weeks that my car was in the shop while I worked a gig to pay 3 months worth of payments, $432 fine and take a Greyhound to San Diego and Tujana to get my car back!

At the point of where I am NOW is NOT a Cinderalla story. I have worked so hard to be at the place where I am right now and it's so nice to pay ALL my bills on time and see my car in the morning!

.....This is to be continued....I have to get ready for a gig 2/8/08

 

MUSIC

This always a problem people can't understand about me...I'm versitile. Yeah, I'm Negro....Doesn't mean I have to play black music. Let me tell you something Nigga,' I can play Country with Garth Brooks, I can play Salsa with Marc Anthony and I can get up on stage with Sevendust and rock the house. What I am is a MUSICIAN....YOU KNOW WHAT THAT IS??? Music is music to me. I don't care about the color of it. That's how I also feel about girls to FYI!!!! ahahahahahaha
