My time isn't measured in minutes, hours, or even years. Music has always acted as monuments of experience in my life in which I refer to. Recalling when and where I was as a song plays is just instinct for me. I search for those moments where music and setting combine into a magic combination that I will soon never forget. 7 years ago, I created a mix series for artists called DEBRISMIX
The concept came to me while watching the utterly destructive tsunami in Indonesia. I realized that value is subjective and it's based on timing and circumstance. What I may value the most at this very moment could quite literally become garbage in my neighbors yard after the forces of nature are set upon it. The name was to inspire Dj's/artists to create full length mixes of their favorite tunes that will always have value to the curator/dj. After all, essentially everything we physically own is debris passing us by. We can't take any of this with is when we die. It was to be looked at as an art project with the perimeters being those of music monuments described above.
After two years and several dozen super creative eclectic mixes by musicians all over the southeast, my now program director caught wind of what I was doing. He offered me syndication on Birmingham Mountain Radio which is the city's premier adult contemporary alternative FM radio station. Long story short, I learned radio really quick and created a brand called Sweet Science Radio and have been doing it ever since. We've now been on air for over 5 years. This is my latest episode:
