Here’s a performance of the first song I ever wrote called “Blind” that I just did this past Wednesday at “The Shift” in Lisbon:

And here is that same song performed live for the first time 30 years ago (the 44min mark):

Absolutely surreal…

I also performed my first ever spoken word original poetry piece on Wednesday night (last part of that first video). Here are the lyrics if you’re interested:

I found and digitized some other VHS tapes of old performances here. Good times:

I’m writing again (finally) so stay tuned for a potential song-based version of that spoken piece. Feels good to have the creative juices flowing again. Massive thanks to Giel, Frankie, Emilio and the keyboardist (didn’t catch his name) from that event. The other talent there was insanely good. Highly recommend following this guy Abolaji Collins on Spotify.
