About me: I am a Genre less Singer..Writer..Producer..Rap Artist..Performer... My adopted motto: "Be like water"... Music is to me as the air I breathe! This I have coupled gift with an unyielding belief that God put me on this path to help others heal....Thru my musical outlet, I hope I will inspire others to do the same...That to me is the true power of "One"...not one body, but the embodiment of one will..desire, for the betterment of all, billions strong! Please take up the cause, and help.... I am not saying you even have to start with a large effort...My recommendation is that you look at what's immediately around you.....Your family..friends..loved one's you may on a daily basis neglect, un or intentionally hurt...Start there! In doing so....you may just find that, you've saved your-self!! God Bless, and please spread the word!!
Enter into a realm where fantasy & reality coexist in harmony together ~ Simultainiously synchronized to enhance the very synapse of endorphins that will ultimately elevate you into a sanctuary of ecstatic self fulfillment ~ inner peace ~ & unconditional love that exists as you will transcend beyond a simple listening pleasure ~ You are always welcome inside my Ashram / Asylum ~ I hope you like my tunes !

I have a new tune on my other myspace called 'Jazzy Blue' ~
This is the first time I've gotten to record within my brand spanking new ~ totally optimized Ashram / Asylum ~ & I must say with this updated digital recording facility & some new axes to grind ~ it is truly a luxury at it's finest ~ at least it is for me me me !!!!! So here it is ~ just a rhythm track I'd made over the last couple of days ~ in order to acclimate myself with all the new toys I now have at my disposal . . . I'll be writing lots of new lyrics as well as new music ~ for both of my upcoming projects ~ the follow-up to my debut CD now available on Moiko Records ~ it's a new concept album I've been (Ben) working on for over a year & a half ~ as well as the awesome new version of The Altruistic Messiah's latest touring band ~ a line up consisting of life long friends & a few of the most amazingly talented new individuals I have just recently had the honor to become associated with ! I am always wishing each & every one of you the very best ~ & this continues to be the primary focus of any & all communication between us as individuals ~ it is my belief that this concern is fundamental in the advancement of humanity ~ & that this is the reason we are alive ~ that this is what we are living for ~ as human nature must transcend into something greater than it ever has been (Ben) ~ as every single one of us collectively evolve into everything we are destined to realize ~ & we must leave no man or woman behind ~ FUCK WAR ~ I know I go way off the beat & path often ~ but I love everyone !!!!!! Peace, Ben P.S. PLease don't forget to attend my CD Release Party at the Rainbow Bar & Grill on the Sunset Strip ~ It starts at 3:00 P.M. November 1st & of course YOU ARE INVITED !
.. Hi there phoeNIX World Artist Site first of all we'd like to say thanks for being our myspace pal. We wanted to make sure you knew the reason incase we suddenly vanish off of your friends list. The movement we've started for indie artists has grown significantly and consumes all of our time these days. We seldom sign into our myspace account and this is making several people believe that we are ignoring them. We are not ignoring anyone, we wanted everyone to know that. What we're doing has become so busy we just don't have the time for myspace any longer, so in all honesty we are probably going to just close our myspace account.
Many people wanted to use us in the future so if you were one of those people you can click the link below to visit our profile which wlil provide you with more information and also give you the link to our website! I wish you the best of luck in your music career. Thanks again for being our myspace pal.
Hey, what's good? You got sum skillz! :o) Thanks for reading my interview on MV... how did you stumble on it? Thanks for the very sweet compliment! Hugs, Tani :o)
