About Me

I'm a Black/Hispanic man who lives in Austin, TX. I'm a singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who has been making music under the name "The Cocker Spaniels" for exactly half of my life. I'm a feminist, a lapsed Christian, and I like baking cookies. Ask me anything else you want to know.

You can be my friend if...

You are able to define yourself by who you are instead of who you aren't.
