CURRENT MISSION

Timing is everything! Listen to the rhythm!

ABOUT ME

I love many things...in particular MUSIC..listening, playing, DJing, producing...I love many styles: Hiphop (J.Dilla!) R&B, Funk, Soul, good disco, soulful+afro House, Samba, Bossa, MPB, Jazz, old Brazilian music, rare groove, world music..I love nature & the outdoors and doing outdoor activities like sports/trekking/mountain biking...I love to get away from concrete and get in touch with nature..I feel really good when I'm surrounded by nature. However I love music and DJing so I'm always in the city!,which I love also, because of the rich cultures that grow from city life and hustle/hard work and the resulting creative expression (hiphop!) I love to travel, I spent 6 months travelling the world in 2008 and it was incredible. I speak decent Portuguese. I play clarinet & saxaphone. Reading is great, I should do it more. Read, listen, learn. I dont watch much TV but I love Chappelle's Show, Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, South Park, Seinfeld & some others. I could go on and on about stuff but I'll leave it at that for now.

PHILOSOPHY

Find your passion/let it find you, follow it, pursue what you love, learn as much as you can about it, focus on positives always and negatives only when there is a positive learning experience to be gained. Do to others as you'd have them do to you. Stand up for yourself. Love mother nature, she feeds us all. Dream and imagine. Use your imagination. Follow your ideas. Ask questions. Be spontaneous, not hesitant. Never hesitate. Once you hesitate, doubt and other, normally conflicting, thoughts enter your head. When you do this, the spontaneity that is necessary for the best natural result is gone. Spontaneity is the source of positive results. Follow your insticts.
That's just some stuff off the top of my head anyway.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well I've travelled quite a lot and seen and done some amazing things. From Sth America to Sth East Asia. Personal goals I have accomplished are amazing to me in their own little way. When I'm older I hope to say I've done some truly amazing things in my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share knowledge on DJing, beatmaking, producing music, Portuguese (Brazil) playing clarinet or saxaphone haha, Australian rules football (exclusive to Australia and native to Melbourne, my home town!) I'd like to learn drums and piano and guitar, and some more spanish and portuguese. We could just talk about life and see what we discover.
