lyrics

(Verse 1)

I am getting better but you still make mad
I feel so used, sad, and confused 
All of this time and you're still not changing
Everybody says you'll hit the bottom
But I don't think that I want to wait

(Chorus)

Trying to tell you
I don't want to feel like this
I don't want to let you in anymore
Trying to tell you
But you never listen
I don't want to let you in anymore 

(Verse 2)

You are always crying
In the cage that you built on a lie
I can see right through you and your truth
So make your bed and I'll leave you to it
I used to believe in resurrection
But I don't think that I have any faith in you 

(Chorus)

Trying to tell you
I don't want to feel like this
I don't want to let you in anymore
Trying to tell you
But you never listen
I don't want to let you in anymore

(Bridge)

I can see right through you and your truth
So make your bed and I'll leave you to it

(Chorus)

Trying to tell you
I don't want to feel like this
I don't want to let you in anymore

trying to tell you

Don't Talk to Me

Better

Tonight, this street will be my bedroom
and my shame my only companion.
Concrete on my face while my head is on fire
And I know I’ve stopped believing there’s no use to keep on trying.
Let’s have a toast to the past, to bad choices, to chance and my failures and if love don’t cost a thing, why are you turning away from me?

You, you gave me something you gave me all the time to erase you, you gave me all the time to erase you.

I’m ready to cry for what I've done 
and I’m ready for all that is yet to be.
People passing by, I must be quite a show!
The man who stopped believing, there’s no use to keep from laughing
Let’s have a toast to the past, to bad choices, to chance and my failures and if love don’t cost a thing, why are you turning away from me?

You, you gave me something you gave me all the time to erase you, you gave me all the time to erase you.

I feel, this burden is hard to bear.
It’s real, I’m drinking all my life away.

20149 - Milano

I love all different genres of music and I like to try to play connect the dots in musical interludes and influences as queer child of the great and wide African Diaspora.


Biography
My love affair with music began when I was just a kid. Living with a father who was a musician, he fostered an interest in a wide spectrum of musical genres from the time we could crawl.
    When I was a teenager, I got into making mix tapes for friends and myself. Music inspired me and was my rock when I came out as a queer teen. One Friday night I had the opportunity to play some music at my queer youth group's coffeehouse. It ignited something in me and I decided this was something I 've got to do.
    For a couple of years due to the lack of opportunities I was relegated to making mix tapes and the coffee house nights. I moved to Toronto in the mid 1990's and stumbled into a wonderful place called CKLN 88.1 fm. The station offered training workshops in being a technician and on-air programming. I was soon volunteering there as a tech and doing the occasional on-air fill in. To my good fortune a slot opened on air and soon I was programming a weekly show with Karen Augustine called B.A.S.S (blak Afrikan sistas of soul).
    
    From spinning on air I was asked if I would play a few gigs. I accepted it with joy and have been creating vibes since then. After a year and half on B.A.S.S, I moved onto my own show on CKLN - RedLight Special (Tuesday's 12:30 A.M. -2:30AM) and then now Afrotransit(Thursday’s 5:00 P.M. - 7:00 P.M) I continued with Aftrotransit on radioregent when CKLN folded.  I am no longer on Radio Regent  but will have a Podcast coming soon!

Personal Information
zest for life and a uncanny knack for stepping in muddy
I get great joy of seeing people respond and participate in whatever fashion they may choose. I like my music to reflect the diversity of the community I live in for me that means pushing the boundaries of race, sexuality and gender. It is how I live .... It is how I play. The key to this is to reach higher and respect always
