Biography
AMERICAN ARTIST LEFT NEW YORK TO LAND UPON
EUROPE'S DOORSTEP IN ORDER TO PERSUE A
CHARMING CAREER IN THE WORLD OF ART...

ARMED WITH PAINTBRUSHES -UNPUBLISHED
MANUSCRIPTS... SONGS&POEMS, HE DECIDED TO
COMMIT HIMSELF FULLY TO THE VITRIOLIC WORLD
OF THE STRUGGLING ARTIST -AND THEIR
SOMETIMES FRUITFUL PLIGHT.

WORKING AS SONGWRITER - AND PLAYING SONG-
WRITER/VOCALIST IN 23 ROCK/POPGROUPS AND
PULLING OF A HANDFUL OF SMALL ARTSHOWS
FOR HIS PAINTINGS WERE HARDLY UNUSUAL.

STRUGGLES WERE MANY--- PENURY, USUAL....
AND HOMELESSNESS --- OBVIOUS BUT HEY, DIDN'T
SINATRA SAY “IF I CAN MAKE IT THERE... I'LL MAKE
IT ANYWHERE” $1
BUT SOMEONE ELSE SAID “REWARD YOURSELF...
YOUR -SELF - HOLDS REWARDS -SO BE YOURSELF!”

2001 HE WAS INTRODUCED&SIGNED TO GET PHYSICAL
FROM THE START. HIS 1ST 2002 RELEASE “ONE&ONE”
(A COLLABORATION WITH M.A.N.D.Y.& BOOKA SHADE
- AND A 1ST EVER TELEVISED LIVE RADIOSHOW
PERFORMANCE WITH THE LEGENDARY DJ T.
FOLLOWED SHORT AFTER) STARTED THE BALL
ROLLING (THE 1ST ISSUE 12” DISPLAYING HIS OWN
COVER ART).
2003 BROUGHT FORTH “I DON'T KNOW?” WHICH
TOPPED THE BELGIUM DANCE CHARTS TWICE!
AND PUT THE ARTIST ON THE MAP... WITH
THOUSANDS OF BROKEN-HEARTS TO
RESPOND&RELATE.

2005 IGNITED THE SELF-PRODUCED, CONTROVERSIAL
LO-FI MASTERPIECE“DISLOCATED GENIUS” -WHICH
ALSO DONS AN ORIGINAL CANVAS-WORK COVER-
WE SHAN'T GET INTO THE POLITICS OF THAT
COVER... THIS IS NOT THE TIME, NOR THE PLACE.

AFTER COUNTLESS SHOWS... FEATURINGS... DRAMAS...
AND OBVIOUS MOUNTAIN CLIMBING 2007 SEEMS TO BE
THE MOMENT FOR THE LONG-AWAITED FOLLOW-UP
-ENTITLED: “CHATTERTON” ---THERE HAS BEEN MUCH
DEBATE ON THE MEANING& CONTENT, BUT WE SHAN'T
DELVE INTO THIS EITHER (SORRY).

IN A WORLD WITH SO MANY “MOLDED&MANUFACTURED”
ARTISTS (DARE I USE THE WORD -ARTISTS-?) IT IS A
PLEASURE (OR TO SOME, A HINDRANCE) TO INTRODUCE
AN ARTIST WHOSE AIM IS FRIGHTFULLY TRUE
(simply CHElicious... not just delicious)...
