I love jazz because...it's jazz. Always was more attracted to Hip Hop and rare grooves, but tastes evolve as do people. Glad to be going around full circle! Hip Hop gave purpose to my life. Jazz made and helped me change my name. I was first exposed to jazz...thru osmosis. Art Blakey or Bird. Maybe it was Louis or Miles? Last Poets or Pharaoh? Parker or Sun-Ra? I moved to France in 2010... I have been magically blessed to have met Archie Shepp, Maceo Parker, Cody Chestnut, drummer Anne Paceo, Soweto Kinch, Tony Allen (rest in power papa), and my mentor, Kologbo Ohgene (rest in power big brother) ...in France. I have featured works with Anne Paceo, Afro Latin Vintage Orchestra, Remy Panossian trio, Cedric Hanriot and Chlorine Free. I currently play live and continue to work with Roforofo Jazz, The Waxidermist, Sax Machine, Soul Square (Hip Hop from Nantes, France, but quite jazzy), Asagaya, and my own collective called Doombap. My advice to new listeners...to enjoy and listen....and never think never. Don't know exactly how or why I'm here (yet), but music has taken me thru the U. S. (coast to coast), to Canada, Portugal, Germany, and all around France. Anything can happen in life and music, just like those hidden moments in Jazz. You only have to commit to being there to see it all arrive. Peace and Respect, Days Big shout out to Matt Hooke who I met at the Montreal Jazz Festival!
