“Just for Fun” because if you’re not having fun, why do it. Believe it or not, I’m a composer & singer-songwriter, a music-industry acclaimed poet, (Sting, Shaggy, Juice Wrld) and musician. Started learning percussion and then collaborated with Stewart Copeland in May 2020. Ask me about this, too. The other famous people just pirated me for song verses, except for Sam Vaknin who is the reason I started into social media in the first place, as he published one of my poems in January 2014, and put my pseudonym (pen name) on it, to give me credit; this gave me hope that others would like and recognize my talents too, which resulted in a decade of texting rockstars through social media. (2015-present). Been in funk bands Nectar Way and Out of Order, then was featured on the radio at KLCC on May 19th, 2001, because I’d won a songwriter’s audition at UO Cultural forum, for the Willamette Valley folk fest and, got to perform it on KLCC for a live audience of hundreds, at the Erb Memorial union. Then, in June 2010, My 12 minute ‘Ruminari’ was featured on KWVA, an avant-garde bluesy lament, at ‘the dining room’. Looking for bandmates to help me develop some ideas. Prefer avante-garde risk-takers, mellow but innovative jazz drummers, experienced improvisers, to see where the moment takes us musically. I can read jazz charts very well on piano, too, though. I need a jazz-chart playing guitarist. And/or upright bass? Anyone out there read ‘real book’ jazz charts, I have several, reach out to me and let me know you exist. Let’s jam, whatever it is you do. Let’s record.
Look me up on the internet. My stuff is everywhere, at Aralia Fresia. Check the mp3 audio platforms too. Just call me at 541-344-4027 and let’s get off of this site.
