    He is a star, a star that lights, luminates and currently mentoring young upcoming talented artists. He is a creator....Being employed as a voiceover is clipping his own wings and muting his world. His voice is meant for music, thats how he communicates, that's how we got hear his thoughts, know him that's how he was able to reach us......eventually reach masses through music.

    I love being in my own thoughts, my thoughts become things. Mmh for sure think good things and feel good about it and everything is easy. Being yourself is the biggest gift you can do yourself and others, everything you need just comes to you. Love you Chimano

    Your piece of joyful noise is like peace and calm to some of us. Keep at it and I agree with the rest do some voice overs you are heavenly soothing.
