Whats good People of earth! After settling into the new diggs Ive made a comfortable home here in KW. Soon after getting here I was already contacting some connections to the music scene. Its thriving with talented rap and spoken word poets. I managed to hook up with Jason Know-it-all, a major player in beat/hip hop production out here. Together, him and his team Marmel ENT. run A studio in Cambridge. I spent some time in the booth there meeting a lot of local heads who came thru during the session. Im currently sitting on a few tracks Im still listening to and perfecting. Some of it was older material so its caused me to put a hold on there release as Im feeling Ive grown substantially since then. Im still getting beats on the regular. Im still writing though not as much. There is a lot to get involved in around here. Ive been focusing on my job as a head chef at a hotel & meeting the right people. Business owners, forward thinkers & conscious minds. Its a great feeling knowing that Im finally in a place where I can do and be anything. Keep ya head up!
Thanks for staying in touch and keep dropping by the blog for news and events.

The Pursuit of Happyness
Its 2015. I’ve been treading water in Simcoe for 2 years now
and I’ve learned that it’s not a place to grow as much as it is a place to die.
I managed to organize a town-wide cypher league to launch this year but my life
has taken a major 180 and I find myself being summoned to the artistically vibrant
community of Kitchener-Waterloo. The region is said to be one of the most
unique places to live in Ontario, or even in all of Canada. Not only is the music scene in full swing but
there are some great venues to perform at. I’d be lying if I said my heart wasn’t
the main reason of my move but at the end of the day I will be happier in a
place that thrives on creativity and will openly welcome somebody like myself. Two respected
Universities make it a young and hip place to be. KW's small town feel combined
with its academic atmosphere is a huge selling point.. I don’t think they’re
ready for me!
I’ll touch lightly on
the fact I’m getting back together with the ‘one that got away’. Sometimes life really does resemble a sappy
movie or a powerful story you read in a book. Long enough have I pined over the
fact I wasn’t ready at the time to want the life I do now. The older you get the
more you realize what you want out of it. The ‘American dream’ lifestyle
becomes less of a conspiracy and simply becomes a place you just want to call
home. I consider myself blessed that after a close-call marriage and a new
house on the table, She made the painful yet powerful decision to follow her
heart. If you’ve found the one then don’t let it go. These days the rate of
settled marriages and falsified love is staggering. I know what I want. I know
who I want, and there’s a lot to be said for just that.
I’d say wish me luck but I don’t need it. Perseverance and
an undeniable push from the universe has left me no choice but to put
everything on hold and fight for a life I deserve. Happiness is not something readymade. It comes
from your own actions so if you want to be happy then plan your thoughts and
actions accordingly.
