alias: Haji Basim
inspiration: “My inspiration is the moment. To use the gift that I have to help or inspire so many that are in need of uplift. By default I get blessed by it. I want to travel the world teaching, learning, and creating new genre shattering acoustic music.”
passion: “Expression. As a man in this culture, we are not guided to explore our creative side. There for repressing so many emotions and feeling causing our souls entrapment. Music and meditation have opened me up in order to feel and thrive within my passion (Which is “sharing my songs).”
favorite daily experience: “Breathing….. mediation…… playing guitar…… songwriting……. Healing.”
current city: Charlotte
