The 3rd World Rocker

Thanks to my buddy James for “inspiring” me to actually do this =).

Alright a brief history:
I’m originally Sudanese, grew up in Al-Imitidad Sudan, came to the US at 9 years of age for 3 years, got shipped to Egypt and was stuck there for 6 years, and finally was blessed to come back to the US at the end of 1998.

Ever since then, I’ve been learning so much about America, including the school system (since its COMPLETELY different from the 3rd world countries I’ve been to). Went to school, received 2 college degrees, and now trying to be the first Sudanese Rockstar.

I’ve loved music ever since I was a young boy, even in Sudan I listen to Michael Jackson, & Lionel Richie. Have been musically active in the Maryland area since 2004. Had a couple of bands, but now I’ve been playing more solo shows (with accompaniment of fellow musicians who rock my socks)

I’m pretty friendly, but if you piss me off, I’ll write song about you and sing it to your face, and most likely it will get the most requests because my angry songs are usually better than my love songs (which I don’t have many of)

Feel free to check out the music sites below, and if you like what you hear come to a show…hey! that rhymes, cooool =)
