“I want my emotions and energy to travel through the ears of my listeners and touch their hearts and soul. Get you to imagine yourself dancing in the desert on sand dunes at sunrise, around a bonfire on a Caribbean beach, or in the rainforest of Bali under the moonlight - That’s how my sound works”.

The rest of it — one more paragraph

The inspiration behind the Apache music project: The Apache Revolver. Such a badass creation, made notorious by the French underworld figures of the early 1900s known as "Les Apaches”, as powerful and beautiful as music... with a unique design which incorporates a revolver, a knife and brass knuckles. His high energy & tropical sets represent a diversity of genres which combined together are as effective as the Apache all-in-one handgun.
