I was born in “hollywood”, belly of babylon. Planted in soil far from the islands of my ancestors, The Philippines. Sunlight and music were among the earliest memories that pulled me out of body, something I did from time to time.

Music does that, presses upon the senses, we have more than 5, and directs us somewhere, to something inside or beyond us.

One time, I dreamt I was in a garden where the flowers were as tall and majestic as trees. Leading me deeper into the open forest I could hear music. what I found in the center, I can’t say. I woke up with this frequency echoing in my brain. I knew that music didn’t exist yet. The vibration lives in me, like a cell.

I’ve taken on many forms. I’ve moved through many phases. I have many hands to play my instruments: piano, harp, guitar, bass. Been producing since ‘09, independently releasing music since ‘11, and somehow by the grace of God i’m still guided to cultivate and create. I can only hope that those who’ve witnessed my work, create more beauty and inspiration in the world. 

There are stories in my blood. The plants are calling me home. Turtle Island continues to hold me, and I’m still changing. After years of making my way through a colonized reality, I find myself at a new juncture.
