I’m inspired by:

EVERYDAY PEOPLE/KIDS ESPECIALLY

I realized I wanted to play music when:

WHEN I TAPED MYSELF ON A CASSETTE TAPE & HEARD IT BACK…FELT LIKE I MET MYSELF FOR THE FIRST TIME.

Four songs you might find on my iPod:

MUSIC FROM BRAZIL, AFRICA, AFRICA & WEST INDIES

One word I would use to describe myself:

ECLECTIC

The best part of being a musician is:

BEING ABLE TO SWITCH ANYTHING I’M DOING MIDSTREAM IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY…for the most part. IN OTHER WORDS, TIME FLEXIBILITY OR CALLING MY OWN HOURS…again for the most part (kids)

Right now, I’m most excited about:

THE RELEASE OF THIS LATEST MINT CD… AND THE FUTURE!

Something most people don’t know about me is:

I LIKE TO COOK…but don’t make time for it anymore.

One of my happiest moments was:

GETTING MY 1st DRUM SET AS A KID!

My music is:

INTROSPECTIVE, SPIRITUAL, ENERGETIC & A LIL’ QUIRKY.

In ten years, I see myself:

DOING MUSICAL DIRECTION FOR FILMS, TV. MAYBE SOME ACTING…BE IT THEATRE OR TV/FILM…PRODUCING NEW & ESTABLISHED ARTISTS AS WELL AS DEVELOPING THEM..SELLING SOME KIND OF APPAREL OF MY OWN, MORE MC MUSIC IF WE SO CHOOSE. CLOSE TO GETTING ONE KID THRU COLLEGE & THE OTHER OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL INTO COLLEGE. THERE IS MUCH MORE OF COURSE.

  1. Brett – the worst part is when you pressed rewind and accidentally hit the “Record” button instead of play. Then the cassette would have a dropout on it. 😉

    Thanks for stopping by, everyone!
