About Me
I enjoy digging for, compiling, curating, sharing, and writing about all kinds of eclectic, funky music from around the world because it makes me feel so good when I listen to it I want to turn like-minded music lovers on to the sensational sounds I'm always discovering. I've always had a passion for musical discovery, whether old or new, from Brazil to Brooklyn & across the globe, there is a rich world of music culture to explore. It's all music rooted in the African diaspora — groovy, jazzy, funky, syncopated, soulful sounds, made with heart — joyful music that resonates with your soul. How you define it isn't important — it's that you get to hear it & enjoy it — that you feel it. It's all out there for us to experience. Now it's just a matter of finding it, organizing it, and ideally sharing & enjoying it with other cool people. My intention with Funkish is to provide for you carefully curated sonic pleasure. I'll write articles around a playlist, and talk a bit about each song and artist. You can also expect reviews of new albums — funky, jazzy, genre-bending music that's often too cool to categorize. If you're open minded to lots of different Jazz, then I think you'll dig a lot of the music I highlight in this column because it's mostly instrumental, improvisational, poly-rhythmic, and diverse in where it comes from and who makes it.
