MUSIC ARTIST - Guitar, Djembe, Voice, Composer OTHER CULTURE: AFRICAN
"I consider myself a serious artist whose goal is to be a part-time or full-time established professional artist."
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF WORK:
- I grew up in the grassfield hills of the Adamawa Grassland Hills, West Africa - a region with a dense concentration of distinct tribes, each with specific cultural attributes.
- Artistic expression (include music, dance) is a readily affordable channel for self-identity by each of these tribes.
- I experienced and took an active part in musical and public performance events in this context.
- Now as a singer/songwriter, I believe that I have a bottomless reserve of ideas that I constantly tap into for new material.
I have marketed myself as an artist as follows: http://www.mnartists.org/work.do?rid=129555
I have taught art classes/private lessons for adults/students. I have done teaching/demonstrating in a school setting. I have acted as a Juror/panelist for arts grants/competitions.
