About me
Bronx, New York, United States
I was born, raised and still reside in the Bronx, NYC. I have always had a passion for acting ever since grade school. At an early age I joined the local nieghborhood acting guild where I studied technique, and stage movement. In JHS and HS I joined the drama club, and practiced on my technique. After HS I left the acting feild for a while to concentrate on my DJing, which I am still doing to this day. I attended Five Towns College for a semester where I joined the dance club. A few years after that I got deeply into writting poetry, and I am in the final stage of releasing my first collection of poetry through Bronx House Entertainment Publishing, a Publishing House that I recently started. In mid 2007 I returned to my roots and began do extra work in a few featured films. Recently I did my first modeling job for a hotel in St. Louis. It was just a face/head portrait, but with my small stature I hope to revolutionize the world of modeling making it acceptable for short guys to strut their stuff, just like the big boys.
Peace, Love, 'N Happiness To All!!!
