I grew up spending Thanksgiving with my family discussing the Cuban Revolution in Spanglish, followed immediately by trips to the wilds of West Virginia. As the son of a Cuban-American mother and lifelong Virginian father, I've always straddled cultural divides.

​

Sometimes, that means that everyone sees you as one of them. Sometimes it means that no label feels comfortable. All that's left is to be yourself.​

​

So my music fits under a lot of labels, and simultaneously none: rock, latin jazz, americana, funk, soul, folk.

And don't get me started on "world music", whatever that means.

​

While you can't expect a neat label, what you can expect is that you will be surprised. And hopefully, you'll find that you and I have more in common than you think.
