I've been a Native NY'er all my life, grew up in the park jams in my neighborhood in Midtown Manhattan & in the Bronx since as far back as I can remember. I've been a Professional working musician (multi-instrumentalist), DJ & electronic music producer for over 15 years.

As a beatboxer, I've worked in the medium for the same amount of time & have worked with some of the best in the world:

- Afra

- TES Uno

- Reggie Watts

- Baba Isreal

- Kid Lucky

- Chesney Snow

- Taylor McFerrin

- BeatsMyth

- the list goes on.... till the break of dawn...

I've worked with young people in Beatboxing & Electronic Music for over 15 years in a variety of Cultural, institutional & educational settings:

- Mexican Museum

- ZEUM Childrens Arts & Technology Museum

- The French American International School

- The Exploratorium

- again, the list goes on.... till the break of dawn...

Recently I've been conducting the Organic Orchestra as part of The Living Remix Project, an LIVE Interactive Music production environment I've created to facilitate in a partnership with WorldUP.org in some very dynamic spaces.

Weve gone from Professional Development with Educators & Cultural Embassidors from around the globe, to working with the NYDOE to create 1 Song with over a hundred teens in one workshop, to working with World Renoun Rapper, Lupe Fiasco & 9 remix artists from around the world as part of the fantabulous Re:Form School high profile 3 day arts exhibit (yes, 9 electronic artists were remixing our music in their countries while we were creating the original, all in one workshop session!)

You can take a look at my press kit as it has a number of my musical projects, reocrdings, collaborations & other cool stuff inside it.
