Album Notes

I was born and raised in the bush of Tanzania, Africa. He moved to the city, Dar es Salaam, when he was 13 and started playing professional soccer at 15. I played Soccer all over the world: Tanzania, Djibouti, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, France, Holland, Japan, and the United States. After retiring from playing soccer, I ended up in Seattle, Washington. Here I coach a Youth Select Soccer Team and design, manufacture, and sell soccer uniforms and gear to teams and individuals around the world.

I have always played music since I was a kid, because when you are a bush man, you have to sing and play beats to yourself to keep entertained. In the bush when I was a kid I had no radio or TV. All my life I have been making music in my head.

In 1999, I had the chance to produce an album for "Cool James" Dandu. Also known as Mtoto wa Dandu. The Album was called "CJ Massive: African Most Wanted" and was a big hit in East Africa and in African communities around the world. Sadly, Cool James was killed in a car crash in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Myself and all Tanzanians miss his musical talent. But he inspired me to continue to create music.

This year I have begun putting together my own album. I am going to call this album "Never Before" because it’s a new style of music never heard before.

REVIEWS

Family Man (single)
author: Dan Woo
Another wonderful song as music and as message. I came to the US from another time, country and culture. Today, who, where and when are not so important. There is joy in the song.

This album is WONDERFUL!!!!
author: Maggie Sayles
This album is WONDERFUL!!!! It has such a happy and uplifting message to share no matter who you are or what kind of music you like. I was washing the dishes, after I put it on, and started dancing at the sink. Was having so much fun I quit doing the dishes and just danced around the house! Equally impressive are the liner notes, which mention that a portion of proceeds will go towards education of AIDS and malaria in Africa, as well as victims of Darfur. One Love Is The Law, indeed. GO ALEX!!!!!
