Magical music happenings

Munir is one of my closest friends and writing collaborators.  His ideas are phenomenal and our collaborations always end up magical.  Here's how we cook and create.  Although this little video is candid (for I knew not we were recording), it is a bit funny and allows you to hear the sick beat  brewed by Allana!!!:

This crazed energy screaming from the track inspired a feeling of Panic...Rush....fear....etc

The feeling of paranoia......fight or flight.....like the last spaceship to heaven has arrived and everyone is running trying to catch it as the world as we know it burns into nothingness~~~~

RUN RUN RUN RUN and get free fast!
get your ticket while the world lasts!!!

and my sincere apologies to Queen Brickhouse BBQ Brisket

love you and excited about working with you!

Fishbone Changed My Life

Everyone has their influences.  Not everyone, however, has gasoline that ignites the fires of their passion.  Fishbone was the gasoline to the fire of my music.  It started when I was in high school.  I remember the first time I experienced Fishbone.  I think I heard them first: bold, unapologetic, musically catchy -- something I felt.  Then I saw them -- they all looked like me.  They were singing my language.  Since Jimi, I hadn't experienced African-Americans making music like this.  I never felt my soul, my voice, where I belonged, until Fishbone let me know that my voice had a home.  They lit the match.  Now I'm here.  Now I'm home.  They told me to come in.  And I've been home ever since...

Here's Angelo Moore (frontman from Fishbone) and me talking about him and I making music together:
