I have a longtime reggae / worldbeat band called Watusi, an Afrikan group, Jimbe Afrique, a steel drum group, Panorama, and a Latin Jazz group, Wave, that I play in, write for and produce. I also have a recording studio - Worldbeat Studios, record label - World Beatnik Records, production company / booking agency- Tropikal Productions, and am a single father and soccer dad of three awesome, talented and creative kids. Life is good, blessed and busy.
I've lived and played in Hawaii, Jamaica, Cancun, Kali, New Orleans and love to travel and absorb music and kulcha from all over the world.
Love sports, especially OU Sooners, Green Bay Packers, Barcelona (REAL futbol), Dallas Mavericks, Miami Heat and Shaq, UCLA basketball, all since I was a kid. Play sports, especially soccer, basketball, ultimate frisbee and raquetball. Learning to ride my new longboard!
I try to spread the vibes and message of peace, love and unity of all people thru my music and my life daily.
And very excited and inspired by Obama...to lead our nation and world to peace and positive progress!
