My Passion for Music!!

I have had a passion for music since a very young age. This was mainly because from as far back as I can remember there was always music playing in the house. My dad had a sizable collection of Albums from renowned artists and bands such as the Commodoes, Stevie Wonder and James Brown just to mention but a few. Also the local Methodist church that we used to go to favored music and went at great lengths to support the youth group.

In high school together with 3 friends we formed an accapella singing quartet called Christs Identity or C.I. We caught the attention of the schools choir master who arranged guest spots for us during inter-school competitions. However due to strict study schedules and economical reasons we failed to continue with our singing after high school.

Regardless of many set backs I have persisted ever since to compose and sing. I recorded a couple of tracks which unfortunately due to lack of enough publicity failed to grab much attention. Currently I am still doing my own digital production all for the love of music. I have completed the production my self titled album of 9 tracks which is out now and in moderate circulation. Your support will highly be appreciated. Holla at your boy!!

The Importance Of Prayer!

I just happened to be praying the other day which I hardly ever do, and a sudden insight struck me. You see, normally we would go to God when we are in some trouble or when we feel guilty or maybe just out of a sense of duty. Howvever, yesterday I realised that I have been wrong all along because prayer is not something we do for God but it's for ourselves. God does not need our prayers. This might sound controversial but it's true when u think about, let me explain.

What would happen if we all stopped praying? Will it stop God from doing his job? I don't think so. The sun will continue shining, rain will fall, seasons will change, baby's will be born, plants will grow, people will fall in love, the sick will recover, we will land ourselves that dream job...the list is leterally endless.

Now, imagine a world with everything in it except Man (and Wo-man). It would be like a beautiful painting hanging on the wall of an empty room. To what end would it serve if there is no one to see and admire it, to regard and to like it, even to observe and criticize it?

What prayer does is that  it opens our spriritual eyes to see the great works of the Creator. It helps us to actively acknowledge, to vividly experience and to fully understand all the beautiful tapestry of our existence. It let's us through that door into that empty room with a beautiful painting hanging on the wall.

Prof. Wangari Maathai - An Inspiring Legacy!

This week saw the loss of a great Kenyan woman, Prof. Wangari Maathai. Her death was mourned globally let alone in her native country. According to http://www.buisnessdailyafrica.com/  proof of this was in the number of websites that highlighted or had people expressing their grief for Prof. Wangari's death. She was trully a remarkable woman whose environmental conservation efforts and activism were noted and had her awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. My heartfelt condolensces go to her close family, relatives and friends.

I hope that her legacy will inspire us to live congruent lives that are consistent to common virtue for the of everyone and generations to come. May her soul rest in peace.

Heaven Is Just a Mile Away.

Everyday I wake up I'm blessed. Everytime you wake up and breath another breath you're blessed. I've been told that I need to get around, I'm screwed up, I gotta get in the grind. Yes we're all in the grind but look around and see all the beautiful things. It's a beautiful life. At the lowest of your lows keep your heads up my friends because Heaven is just a mile away. I'm talking about heaven on earth. It has nothing to do with money or nothing material. I'm talking about heaven in your own heart and your own existence. We're all God's children!

Encouraging Week !!

What's up people! I'm feeling amazing because this past week I've committed myself to happiness and contentment. My close friends know that I'm out of work which is enough to cause anyone dispair. What with all the bills that need to be paid and so fourth. However, it is this desperation that has led me to where I am today feeling blessed and lucky. I've ditched bad habits like smoking and snuff..."yeah snuff"..believe me. The beach is reasonably close so I've taken to cycling there every morning for a bit of a swim and exercise. I now see that It's small positive changes in lifestyle that ultimately build ones self esteem and worth.

In other news, I re-activated my twitter account only to discover what i've been missing. Twitter rocks!! I actually have celebrity 'friends'. Aint' that something! Infact I have an exclusive link to Tyrese new video 'STAY' and it's amazing and inspiring. Inspiring because as you may be aware I am compiling my own album. Right now I'm on my 4th song and since Tyrese's Album will be in stores on Nov 1st, It would be brilliant if finished mine at the same time. Mine will not be instores anyway, It will be on the Streets..

PUSH!!

I've thrown myself fully into producing serious quality music soon to be an album. It's been a long time coming. It has to happen. I'll keep on pushing.

  

Liz Jay's Birthday Party!

This is my friend Liz Jay's birthday party. We had a really great fun time. Given the daily commitments that keep us all busy and with little time to be happy, it was quite refreshing at the end of the day to be able to gather with a group of close buddies and have a good laugh. We messed around a bit but it was all sport. In the background are a couple of trucks that we have done with my brothers in crime G Money and Paul A.K.A. Mr. Mistari (Mr. Lines). I hope you enjoy this amateur clip. Remember inspite of whatever may be going on in your life right now, be happy.

Sometime last year!
