The Essay

I am a 27 y.o. musician. Music is my life! Aside from singing,composing, and producing, I work at a music school and teach private performance coaching, songwriting/creativity, and voice. Music all day every day..LOVING IT!! I play a bunch of instruments and aspire to play more! although a classically trained vocalist, I am rock n roll guy by nature. I love electro, dance and pop. I can find something in every genre that I appreciate musically. I also grew up listening to Arabic and Greek music so I feel my palate is quite diverse! I have a wonderful yoga practice in the Iyengar tradition; spirituality is a huge part of my life. I love fried foods! it's such a weakness! even though I'm a rail I'm constantly craving donuts, fried chicken, and french fries...i curb those impulses 90...scratch that 75%of the time ;) I'm a kick ass pacifist. I have a soft side and a rough side. I was a twin in the womb for 3 months and eventually I absorbed him! Seriously. So I'm very in touch with my sun AND moon sides :) I have a dog who is the greatest thing that ever happened to me! I'm an avid animal lover/animal rights activist, not as crazy and out there as PETA but ASPCA member here! I love Latin American Culture. I'm into Salsa, Merengue, and Samba dance. and have studied modern and african dance as well. this is a random smattering of me! HI!!!

The Lovetastic Interview
What is the farthest you've ever been from home?

Japan. I spent time there when I was in highschool. Beautifully inspiring, amazing, loved it! Did NOT want to leave!! :)

What is your favorite American state?

Vermont. Growing up in the suburbs with a hippy-ish NYC mom, I NEVER dreamed I'd be a country boi at heart but alas ;)

Winter vacation: ski or beach?

NOT a cold winter person. BEACH. paradise.

Have you ever been gay-bashed?

Nope. I enrolled myself in self-defense classes when I was 15. That practice evolved into a black belt in American Kickboxing and 2nd Degree Black belt in Traditional Japanese Karate with a speciality in Sai Work (Pronged knives, Elektra uses them, I know fierce!) Anyway, most people were always too scared to even say anything! lol

Are you a good cook?

this is FUNNY. VERY funny. I can make two things really well. 1.Cereal 2.A Mess. I'm an active eater but not so much with the cooking...I can CLEAN though. Very domesticated in that area :)

What order child are you (if you have siblings)?

I WAS a twin..in utero for 3 and a half months. Identical. but I absorbed him...medical marvel! lol in all the local papers of my hometown!
