I am an Author/Poet/Musician/Composer/Music Producer . Writing has always been my first love but I love the arts in general (and have always been considered a renaissance man).

Inspiration
My inspiration comes from life experience. I don't mean just situational experiences but everything (what I eat,read,see,hear...everything).I love to take things I experience then write about them as I interpret them or assimilate them into my life. I draw from the whole of what is around me absorbing it and like an alchemist I turn it into something entirely different.
