Vallejo,CA

Summary

Being born and raised in New Orleans has been very beneficial to me as an artist. I've developed a deep appreciation for the spiritual aspects of music and an endless love for the roots of all art, which I strive try to exemplify in my eclectic tastes.

I am an artist.

I create, I unify, I uplift and I inspire others to do the same.
