About Me

About Me...
Ummm. I'm a capricorn, and 1 of a kind or of a few born on the first day of the year on that fateful day in the 70s.

I'm in the entertainment business if it can be considered that (a business?), with a full time position as a graphic designer. I've been self employed since I ripped up my resume back in the 90s when I needed a break from work to study and they wouldn't give it to me... I decided at that point that I would control my destiny from there on forward. I'm a music person. Actually, I think that's an understatement. Music keeps me alive.

Now I have another love. Her name is Kayla, and she's my best friend and 1st love, pushing music into a close second. I throw events based in my second love however, that help take care of the first lol. It is a commonly held belief that I love old school first and foremost, but really and truly, I'm a bboy standing in my bboy stance (without the guitar). I'm also an R'N'Bboy as evident in my r&b collection and the fact that I know the lyrics to virtually every slow jam in our generation's collective knowledge. I guess living in Toronto all my life gave me perspective... I was a houser (read: bells and a peak) in the late 80's. I also frequented rent parties ala King Turbo and the reggae scene around that same time... But I grew up listening to Tom Rivers on CFTR, CFNY and CKLN for hip hop on Saturdays, and House on Sundays. With this said, I know music from Tom Cochrane to Zhane... and all points in between and preceding. But enough about me. Go on?

Okay... I went to school at Francis Libermann in Scarborough, then on to do a degree at U of Toronto, Scarborough Campus. I watch tennis when it's on, and love Seinfeld, Family Guy and Robert Deniro movies. My favorite dish is any pasta with alfredo and chicken and/or shrimp; singapore style rice noodle being a close second. Ice cream? Pralines and cream. Car? Realistic - Audi A4/Acura TL tie... unrealistic? Lotus Esprit Turbo.

I throw a few parties... I'm only putting this in as I get a lot of email asking if I'm the guy from AMNESIA... Yes, he and I and I am him. I throw that event with partners Mark G (Starting from Scratch) and Jason Chambers of Attitude Sound Crew... That was my first major event, and led to me branching out into further planning. The party roster now consists of tons of parties in the R&B, Soca and hip hop scenes - Soul Kitchen, Big People Fete (with Dr. Jay); A Rollerskating Jam Named... Saturdays; ICON; The ONE; Socaholics etc... In the past, I ran a party called Trilogy - one of Toronto's (wickedest and)longest running Saturday night spots, Kajmere. That party; X-Factor, my 5 year old long weekend Sunday night have been archived as have fwd>> and a few other parties... Stay tuned for the newest event, The B-Boy Document...

Now you know... and knowing is half the battle.
