about
I grew up & came of age, for the better part of my life, on a little island in the Caribbean not more than 70 nautical miles southwest of Puerto Rico, & 1200 miles south-east of Miami, Fl.

Imagine a place where watches are of the least importance, while learning to “be where you’re at” takes utmost importance. Relax. Just cool.

Music is key to the history and life of the people of the Virgin islands…from the calypsonians of yesteryear, to the soca monarchs & road march champions …to the upful reggae vibrations that can currently be heard resonating the whole world over, music has always been, and will always be a large reason the islands are the way they are. But don’t get it twisted, struggle and fighting brutal oppression are an even bigger reason why St. Croix is such a powerful place. Kings and queens, emperors and empresses abound, and it’s the lineage of these royalty whom we have to site up when giving thanks for who we are today.
