Connect What is your favorite type of art to create?

The only art I was cursed and blessed with was guitar. It's the only thing I'm good at. It's melancholic, obscure & sometimes a bit looney. My tone, I feel comes from childhood trauma & anger. As an adult all that madness got embraced by my love. So much deepness i find easy to express in my music but difficult in my poetry. For it's painful to be brutally honest about such things that we hold inside. My music is also triggered by night terrors that now with this musical light I find comfort.

Where do you find inspiration?

My inspiration from a child started with cartoons. I had asthma so i wasn't allowed to go play outside for a while. I fell in love with the characters & sounds by the soundtracks in em, especially halloween specials. I grew up listening to my parents oldies then death metal, rock&roll & rock music from 60's to 90's. Soon I discovered dark jazz, ragtime & it changed my life forever. It brought me back to being that kid again. Put me musically where i belong. Made me embrace my strange side again.

What would you do with $25,000?

Continue my musical journey, hire help to record me professionally, hoping people to hear my music & be relevant to their hearts. I also want my own snack stand where i play guitar & have jesters performing & enchanting my customers. I play for poetry spots, so i would love to own my own poetry place where humble and broken minds come to recite poetry. I want to play music for it & have other musicians join. Also to build a community of artists where they can be seen and heard. To feel alive.
