My curiosity came from moving around so much. At the age of 12, I both left the country and moved for the very first time to Toronto, Canada. Every thing I knew changed. That experience showed me the depth of cultures and backgrounds. Also the possibilities that
existed outside of the rooms I was in.
That same curiosity has landed me in many rooms and in conversations with many different people. Thus, blossomed my appreciation for storytelling.
I have heard stories from musicians, producers, janitors, mothers, addicts and survivors to name a few. But what I’ve gotten from these stories has shaped and developed my character. We’re all here to learn from each other. And I’m on a quest to continue learning, and continue being a
student until I am no longer.
