I am currently seeking a manager!!! I need assistance in bookings, label relations, licensing deals, and basically just taking my career to the next level. Please only reply if you have experience in this business and if you are even familiar with the kind of music I am involved with. What I don't need is my time to be wasted. I've been involved in Beat music for 10 years plus now and its time to shine!! If you are serious please hit me up for a bio/press kit and we can move from there.
Peace & Blessings,
Take

Ok so after a few very fun and tiering days.. I have a day off to write some more.. Friday night I played in Den Bosch, Netherlands...It was a great party and the crowd went of till nearly 5am. There was alot excitment in the air as the Dutch soccer team had just won the first round of their European Championships. People were wild!!! Lots of drinking and dancing. Had a good time playing with the guys from Eat Concrete...Pete Concrete and ATeeze..Plus hung out with the very nice Ro-lee and his lady Nine... who invited us over for dinner tonight.

Sat morning after a brutal friday night we made our way to Amsterdam ( about an hour train ride away) and rushed to the airport to catch a flight to London.. Flew into Lutton airport which is far out of the city and took a long train ride in... Got to the show just in time to soundcheck... The venue was amazing.. huge soundsystem. Lotus is like a super star over there... Was real cool. Me , Ras G and Sam all played pretty early unfortunately .. Still had a ton of fun as the show grew more and more packed...All the LA artists just really destroyed it!!! After the show Architecht ( Sam) was kind to put us up at his flat and give us tea as we watched the sunrise from his balcony. The next day we rolled around east London for a few hours.. All the street markets were real dope. Lots of stuff I wanted to buy but couldnt...Records, shoes, you name it... gifts for all my girlfriends...lol..hahaha..The dollar is so weak.. and the pound so strong... A coffee was like 6 bucks!!!! Shit!!!! I sure did like London though.. The smell of that curry in the streets, busy streets and peopel drinkin pints everywhere...lol..Thanks to Sam and his lovely girlfriend for putting us up quite comfortably...

Tonight was back in the Netherlands and was treated to a lovely meal at Ro-Lee ( Eat Concrete) and his wife Nine... Such warm people.. great music, great food, great conversation... Thank you guys so much.. Please come to LA so I may return the love... Im sooo tired must get some sleep
now.. More to come soon.. I have started posting all the photos on my flikr page as its alot better than myspace for view and uploading photos... check it out as I will try to add more every day..
