I am a direct descendant of Trinidad, born in NYC and raised with the unwritten codes of the Flatbush Brooklyn streets. I exude art from each pore as I dive, head first into every medium possible. I am inspired by all things ryhthmic. My music captures the energy of my environment.
I was exposed to the realities of the world, from NYC to Texas and from Trinidad to Baghdad. Ultimately these elements mold my sound and developed who I am. In a constant search for Knowledge, Wisdom and Understanding, I will continue to rise in the ways of the exploratory artist.
Lets show and prove.
