Poet-Lyricist-Songwriter seeking those who could use someone with my skill-set. I have a background in ReggaeSoundsystem Culture--due to my departed oldest brother, who played parties, and such, for years, before being able to open a nightclub. I realized, after some years, because of listening to his vast collection (in many genres of music)that I had a knack for writing song-lyrics--besides the poetry writing that I was already doing. I caught the bug for writing song-lyrics about 10 years ago, when a former co-worker recruited me to collaborate with him in his home studio. Unfortunately, (as things were beginning to get interesting) he left New York. In the meantime, I rediscovered my love for music on a new level--including now teaching myself how to play some instruments too...
