I am an interdisciplinary artist focusing on memory, time, and poetry. Currently I am engaged in several ongoing projects which map my personal history with a grander aim to tap into a collective stream of desires, ambitions, emotions, and fantasies.
I am a lover of Hip Hop, R'n'B, Rock and film music. I am a musician/music journalist and I have been hugely influened by those types of musical styles. I've five years experience singing live and I've also been composing my own stuff too. I play piano but I'm not nearly as good as I want to be!
My name is Julius but you can call me TJ.
I grew up down Jamaica way.
I run marathons so I know how to hump it.
I especially like to play a lot of jazz trumpet.
Love my music from swing to bop.
Will jam all night till the people say stop.
Jazz is the message of my desire
