tell it like it is

tell it like it is (prod. lil ink)

I have been playing music and performing my entire life. I started playing the saxophone at age 9, the electric bass at 14, and by the time I finished high school I had paying ($) gigs in a jazz ensemble and a rock-n-roll band that belted out original songs. I pick on the mandolin, guitar, and upright bass; I play bamboo flutes I make myself, I bang on drums and try out  any musical instruments I come across. 

The first time I connected two turntables to a mixer was an epiphany for me - I mean it fundamentally changed the course of my life. I realized I could play all the music that needed playing, and I could do it without a break, so the party keeps going. 

I was meant to be a DJ. 

It is a long journey, but I found my North Star. Sit back and enjoy watching what happens next.

It's a blessing to be able to create music and if someone enjoys my work, that's icing on the cake! All blessings come from God.

As a retired DOD Civil Service worker, I have time to record some. I have been recording at home sice around 1990 and some of my tracks are very old.  I‘ve had 50+ years in bands playing music of many types. I still play the club scene 3 to 4 times a month. Life is good!

I'm a Guitarist who likes to write, record and sing many styles of music. Please check out my tracks. I'm also enjoying the occasional collaborations.  Meeting some good friends on here and continuing to grow. Thank you for listening!


Es una bendición poder crear música y si alguien disfruta de mi trabajo, ¡eso es la guinda del pastel! Todas las bendiciones vienen de Dios. Como trabajador jubilado del Servicio Civil del Departamento de Defensa, tengo tiempo para registrar algunos. He estado grabando en casa durante unos 23 años y algunas de mis pistas son muy antiguas. He tenido más de 50 años en bandas tocando música de muchos tipos. Todavía juego en la escena del club de 3 a 4 veces al mes. ¡La vida es buena! Soy un guitarrista al que le gusta escribir, grabar y cantar muchos estilos de música. Por favor, echa un vistazo a mis pistas. También estoy disfrutando de las colaboraciones ocasionales. Conocer a algunos buenos amigos aquí y seguir creciendo. ¡Gracias por escuchar!

A graveyard for yearning teeth with gums that are brown and rotting

About myself I have no great illusions. I know what I am. I know what I'm good at. I know what I ain't. I'm always hoping to surprise myself. But I do have a love of music and I do love to communicate it.

just your average emo and alternative rockstar tryna save the universe ❤️‍🩹
