Founding member of community music project: Triangle music workshop at the age of 18, a youth music project in Dalston. Later on utilising skills gained and I founded Mellow Mix Central a community music project in Stoke Newington. Hackney. England.
In 2003 I started I like it Productions/SWP (streetwise project) created with Adiaha Antigha the first, Knife, Gangs and Guns project in London. First located in Clapton Pond, known as Murder Mile. As a high risk project it was very successful saving lives and educating young minds. Our motto is `Education through Music` sadly a shift in Central Governments priorities shifted funding from youth provision. I Like it production is now a Charity and continues to seek funding and partnership opportunities.
Past productions include world music and urban UK artistes, see profile on first album: `The Round Drum` King D & the Black Knights.
Currently working on my Album. With the first single now on `itunes` called `Stop the Fighting Start Uniting` the second single due in by early 2016. Either Revolution or Oh Jah two fantastic songs! I am looking for a collaboration potential artists from the states.
I'm looking at touring in the America in 2016-17. I have an expansive following on various social media platforms, the majority are based in the States.
So much more on the way stay locked
Bless Up
