Welcome to Miami! The streets are beautiful but subtle, the beaches and sunny weather attract the most powerful people in entertainment, across the bridge is a vast concrete jungle filled with those who dream, but few who live their dreams. Many have lost their lives chasing that dream, dying while doing what they truly love, dying for what they believe. The love of music… it is a side of this wonderful city that is rarely exposed to the rest of the world. But, then I ask; what is a dream without sacrifice? It is nothing else but just a mere dream. There is one aspiring artist/producer who has given himself as well as his time and talent to chasing and realizing his dreams as he continued to contribute and work with some of the best artists in the Miami music scene, both mainstream and underground, while doing shows in the most gutter nightclubs, stripjoints, city wide open mic showcases, etc… at the same time.
