AP History Month: Grace Jones Is Punk As Hell!

So it's Black History Month. Most media outlets are busy honoring the usual historical figures of African descent, as they should. But this is Afro-punk, and it's time to take minute to acknowledge the ultimate counter-culture soldier, Ms. Bad-Ass herself, singer/songwriter/performer/model/actress Grace Jones. I don't care how old you are, you need to know that Grace owns this shit, the timeless talent, the "fuck you" attitude, the outrageous fashion, the political lyrics. Don't…

Afro-punk crashes Virgin Mobile Music Fest!!! Day 1

Sometimes shit's just too cool to be true. Try telling someone that if they volunteered for a couple of hours in support of youth homelessness awareness that they would receive an all expense paid trip to the Virgin Mobile Music Festival in Baltimore, MD. Trust me, they will look at you like you're the creep that sends them those lotto prize e-mails from Africa. Well, Afro-punk recently partnered with Virgin Mobile to set up a series of parties and volunteer events to spread…

Please, Don't Sing

Flipping through the channels on the radio in Seattle is more than frustrating. This pass summer there has been a trend of unforgivable acts raping my air waves.



The first unforgivable act would undoubtedly have to be the over synthesized voices pumping out simple lyrics to over saturated disco beats. What happened to singing?

Each moment with Martin Luther's music inscribes soulful simplicity on a dreamer’s heart. He chases truth with acoustic realities, defining rebel soul music lyrical, practically, and artistically.

News & New Developements







Category: Music


I haven't written one of these in a while. I guess it's cause I've been busy, wrapped up in contract negotiations and...well...stuff that's probably not too interesting. However, the result of my efforts are much more interesting.



After a long time going it alone, I've finally found a home.... or label as it's more commonly called, and a publisher. It feels very refreshing to have a team backing me up. If you… Continue
