I was born in Cairo, Egypt in 1966. Moved to America at age nine. Painfully shy and instinctively driven. I play guitar a little. My music is the Blues (thanks to Buddy Guy), Jazz and Flamenco. I owned, operated and was the chef at a blues bar. Where I had the pleasure of booking many of the great/legendary blues artists, up and coming young cats and I am honored to say they became my friends and extended family. I was also lucky to meet a girl that I fell in love with in such a magical way.
We had to move on after having the bar for 4 years. I had my soul in it, every picture on the wall (collected since childhood) every poem by all my favorites, framed and hanging like a story. And now for the first time in five years I have a chance to try to give my words wings. My goal is to have a little bar again and bring back my beautiful blues family. Mean while I write(always),drinking a lil' red wine, Guinness Stout, watering our lil' garden and trying to live this life. I do have a huge soft spot for women, having a great mother, sister and many great friends/sisters taught me to love, cherish and respect them tremendously and I thankfully do with all my being.
