About me

Music is in my blood

Music is in my blood. Grew up surrounded by musicians, living room jams, sleeping backstage at concerts, and exposure to many kinds of music. At 13, my life changed after going through my mom’s partner’s record collection: David Bowie, Iggy Pop, The Stones, Motown, Al Green, Stevie Wonder, King Sunny Ade, and Ali Farka Touré.

In University I had a radio show called “Molasses Groove”, where I randomly mixed musical genres to find gems that all shared a thick and sticky groove. Old school days with CDs and records! Later years DJed at parties with two record players and a mixer. Intention is a first for me!

Love many genres – faves are R&B, Funk, Soul, and Disco – w Africa and Latin American flavour!

My own music on Bandcamp

I started creating and recording songs during the Pandemic, so three years later here’s a collection of my music.

Wrote this song for my mom’s 82nd birthday

There’s a flower on the edge of a garden
It doesn’t get very much light
The tree behind it
shields it from the sun
Ever so gracefully it’s petals open up to sky
Gently pushing its roots
towards the water
When it bloom it fills the sky with colours
Radiating beauty and love within it’s form

There’s a flower at the edge of a garden
that doesn’t get very much light
If you ever go out to this garden
let her know how much I miss her
How much she means to me
And I’ll see her when she blooms in summer
after winter months have melted away

There’s a flower on the edge of a garden
that doesn’t get very much light
