1. What is your favourite thing to do on your downtime?
DOWNTIME???  what the hell is that?  Especially if you are a performer/ "starving artist" and working full time to pay the bills.  LOL!!  However, I enjoy watching movies (happy ones because if I want scary... I can get that out in the street), cooking and eating out, practicing my yoga, and listening to my ol' skool R&B, soul and funk music   (especially Marvin Gaye, Donny Hathaway and Earth, Wind and Fire), 

2. Where is the place you would like to travel the most?
I want to visit New York and I plan to be there in July 2009.  I will check out the clubs, the music, the arts and ... oh yes... Sylvia's Restaurant for some soul food!

3. Where do you see yourself in the next 5 years?
If I'm lucky.... I will be a very wealthy man.  And yet... wealth is not measured by how much money I have or what material assets I own.  Use your imagination.

4. What in hip hop culture inspires you the most?
Aside from the social dances, what inspires me about Hip Hop culture is its potential to bring positive social change to everyone.  Examples include some MC's delivering positive messages to his/her audience.  Whether it's KRS-One telling people to stop the self destruction in their own communities or Queen Latifah urging U.N.I.T.Y or Chuck D telling us to wake up and "fight the powers that be."  That's where Hip Hop Culture is at its strength.  Now, if the majority of the MC's and "rappers" today stop focusing on the material things, (like.... does anyone still want to listen an MC having tons of sports cars and buying the latest fashion designers clothes whose names they can't even pronounce??) and the hate... we may actually be going places.

5. What does being a SOULdier mean to you?
Being a SOULdier means many things to me.  First, it means  OPPORTUNITY; learning both the history and the skills of our hip hop social dances.    Second, it means ACCEPTANCE;  of who I am as a dancer and human being and accepting of others.  Finally, it means POTENTIAL; providing foundations of being the best dancer I can be.  I felt my dance skills improved after my first year.  And Kim, even though I've thanked you in the past, I'm always grateful that you allowed me to be in SOULdiers.
