I AM A
Welcome to my new website. Since my old website was created in 1999, it did not reflect the person that I have become in this later phase of my life. In addition to my music career, I am a journalist whose work has been published in some highly regarded news websites. Please take a look around, and if anything interests you, please get in touch. I would love to hear from you.

BIO
“What do you think an artist is? An imbecile who only has eyes, if he is a painter, or ears if he is a musician or a lyre in every chamber of his heart if he is a poet, or even, if he is a boxer, just his muscles?Far from it: at the same time he is also a political being, constantly aware of the heartbreaking, passionate, or delightful things that happen in the world, shaping himself completely in their image. How could it be possible to feel no interest in other people, and with a cool indifference to detach yourself from the very life which they bring to you so abundantly? No, painting is not done to decorate apartments. It is an instrument of war.”
- Pablo Picasso
