a little bit about me
I AM A SINGER/SONGWRITER, STAND - UP COMIC, WRITER, STORYTELLER, PODCASTER, POET, AND DESIGNER. I HAVE SPENT MY LIFE BEING CREATIVE TRYING TO CAPTURE ALL THAT COMES THROUGH WHATEVER IT MAY BE TO HONOR AND CELEBRATE IT. I HAVE HAD AN INTERESTING JOURNEY AND FEEL THE MIRCLE OF LIFE AND BREATH EVERYDAY HAVING SURVIVED MANY HEALTH CHALLENGES AND A TRAUMATIC CHILDHOOD. Ive had a few trips to the light and back again. Navigating a broken heart and autoimmune issues since Ive been a kid on my own with doctors, drugs, treatments, hospitals, foods, and finding health balance and well-being has been a trip. The path ive travelled has been a mountain range with many peaks and valleys.
COMEDY HAS ALWAYS BEEN THERE existing in me ALTHOUGH I DIDN’T UNDERSTAND WHAT WAS HAPPENING. WHEN I WAS REALLY YOUNG I WOULD TELL PEOPLE ABOUT THE CRAZINESS AND ABUSE THAT WENT ON AT THE HOUSE AND IT WAS MET WITH LAUGHTER. THEN AT 15 YEARS OLD I WAS USING DRUGS AND SOUGHT A THERAPIST ASKING NEIGHBORS FOR HELP IN FINDING ONE - WHEN I DID FIND SOMEONE SHE TOO WOULD GO INTO LAUGHING FITS OVER MY STRUGGLES AND OTHER THERAPISTS FROM THERE…. HOW I ARTICULATED MY PAIN WAS SOMEHOW FUNNY. IT ONLY DAWNED ON ME WHEN I WENT TO A STAND-UP SHOW ONE NIGHT IN NYC WITH MY FRIEND AT 18 YEARS OLD WHAT WAS HAPPENING. OH! IM A STAND-UP COMIC! IT WAS LIKE FINALLY GETTING THE RIGHT DIAGNOSIS TO A CONDITION. THE REMEDY? DO STAND-UP! I EXPLORED MYSELF IN THE MEDIUM FOR YEARS AND FELL DEEPLY IN LOVE WITH IT.
THERE ALSO has always BEEN MUSIC in me. A SEPARATE FORCE WITHIN GIVING ME MELODIES, LYRICS, BASS LINES, GUITAR RIFFS, HARMONIES, CHOIR PARTS ETC… I LEFT HOME AT 14 DUE TO AN ABUSIVE SITUATION AND HAVE NO FORMAL EDUCATION, SO HOW WAS I HEARING ALL THIS? THE NEXT STEP WAS TO TEACH MYSELF BASIC CHORDS ON THE PIANO THEN TO BE ABLE TO ARTICULATE WHAT I WAS HEARING TO OTHER MUSICIANS SO I COULD BEGIN RECORDING MY SONGS AND IDEAS. IT ALL CAME NATURALLY AND EASILY. MY SONGS ARE PRECIOUS TO ME AND I PUT ALL THAT I AM AND HAVE INTO THEM. THAT IS WHY THEY ARE BEING TAKEN OFF OF STREAMING PLATFORMS AND WILL BE FOR SALE HERE, NOT ON ALL THE LISTENING PLATFOMS THAT EXPLOIT ARTISTS. I APOLOGIZE FOR SOME OF MY comedy VIDEOS BEING LOW CLARITY BUT I DECIDED TO SHARE THEM ANYWAY IN HOPES THEY MAY BRING A LAUGH A SMILE OR COMFORT TO SOMEONE.
SIGN UP AND STAY TUNED FOR MY NEW LINE OF ORGANIC CLOTHING WITH POSITIVE MANTRAS AND VIBES - ALL HAND DRAWN - AND FOR COOL NEW SONGS THAT I’M CURRENTLY WORKING ON NOW. THANK YOU AGAIN FOR VISITING! PEACE HEALTH AND GRACE BE WITH YOU ALWAYS
