Nearly died twice by the age of 3 of breathing complications I'm blessed to be alive!!! To the lord be the glory!!! "for everyone who has will be given more" on faith and talents - Matthew 14:30 I was Born into bare hands in Africa (Accra, Ghana).. moved to England at the age of 4 where I lived for 12 years, & i'm currently living on the Eastside of Atlanta, GA. I've been lucky enough to have first hand experience of three totally different worlds... I have been working in various studios as an aspiring (singer, writer, composer and producer) musician around Atlanta Georgia for the past 2 years, and in the U.K since i was 15..I've been playing the piano since I was about 10 years old and just started playing the guitar. I'm currently looking for a violinist so if thats u hit me up :-) I'm attending Howard University and in my sophomore year. As a freshman I lived on the "Westside" Drew Hall Rm#309 and my roomate was Maceo A. Davis from Philly in the Penn. Goals: To become a prominent Afro-European American (lol) in the business world (in real estate) and become an entrepreneur in the world of urban music.
Most Memorable Moment:

Just met Ciara (my goodies!)... performing at the Masquerade in Downtown Atlanta and having contact and positive feedback from Bad Boy South and Roc-A-fella records...Seeing Bill Cosby and Phylicia Rashad at Crampton Auditorium @ Howard (truly a life changing experience). Working my summer 2004 internship with Havertys furniture and meeting the President and CEO of the company and all the people that pull the strings there!!!.... directing the Decatur High School Chorus, winning GA State Championship in soccer and most importantly as an individual : winning the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr Award in 2003 as a senior To all my ATL hustlaz(Zerinah, J.
