I use music to build bridges from heart to heart, knowing in my soul that we are all ONE LOVE. It is time to gather together and share our stories, our heart songs, our struggles and our victories, and use our voices to proclaim our common heritage: WE ARE ALL ONE PEOPLE. I truly believe in and have witnessed the power of music to heal, connect, and transcend all perceived boundaries, for music has the power to bring hearts and souls together! I am an artist, poet, singer, guitar, percussion, and harmonica player, and a SINGER!! Let us lift our voices together right now in this world, in this moment in time, to heal the cracks in our collective family, and create the new world of peace and acceptance we know in our hearts, blessings to all who enter this space!!!! PEACE
