About Me:

Check out my caoeira clothing stuff

I have always played in bands, including the Pedestrians in high-school, and Sprawl while attending Rice University for Art and English. My current band in Houston, Free Radicals, plays jazz-funk, hip-hop, ska, avant-garde punk, and international music. The group creates non-commercial original compositions, performs benefit concerts, and provides the beat for street protests for causes like immigrant rights, and against police brutality and war-profiteers like Halliburton. When not playing drums, I am around North and South America playing capoeira angola, showing my film, doing a workshop, doing graphic design, mastering and CD duplication at Sound Arts Recording and elsewhere, volunteering with groups like Food Not Bombs, and houston indymedia, making monoprints and other types of art, and writing articles.
