A little bit of anything good. From rock to classical... fun for the whole family
Its all about the music for me. I am a wierd guy but I take my art, not to sound arrogant, very seriously. My music introduces a lot of styles and cultures from blues to middle eastern and flamenco. Not that I play any of them well but adding a flavor of these cultures gives any music a spice. It is also music, sounds, and feelings of the past three years of my life, some good, some painful but to be able to develope perspective on all the crap of day to day living and share it in a way that makes people move is maybe the one gift i was blessed with. Once again not to sound arrogant but thats my music in a nutshell.

Story behind the song
This song was inspired by the great people of Haiti but is given to all the poor that suffer and stand up. Its the closest i come to prayer
Lyrics
Across the blue valley over white peaks of foam Suffer the years enslaved by the fears And all the kings woes and all the kings foes Repeat the same damn year after year The shores of history are seeped in pain While the blackness of you skins slayen by the beating Creole son You are humankind ugly and devine Isolated, intergrated, separated sum How does the river of life carry on? How do you look beyond when all your sight is gone? How do you walk on the sands of the sun? Somehow you do Tomorrow has begun. Across the blue valley the refuge is found By once refugees and to home you are bound And what of this "Messiah" and the slumlands forsaken He was canonized to polarize this colonized nation So rest not want not common son Shine on the wretched shine on the slums Shine on the weak the weary and the dumb Shine on all humanity untill humility is come
