Started working as a music writer as a side job while employed at a record shop, and for over 18 years I’ve contributed to music magazines, disc guide books, mooks, and web media. As a writer my main field is Western music, but as a listener for over 35 years, I always try to keep my curiosity alive with the motto “I like what I like.” I have experience playing in bands, where I was a bassist who handled songwriting and composition. Instruments I’ve played include bass, guitar, and piano. I began studying English in my mid-40s and continue to do so today.

For whatever reason, everyone has times when they’re not in the mood or feel down.

One of the leading figures in the American hip-hop scene, Offset.

Let me introduce “DON’T YOU LIE” from his album Set It Off.

The lyrics depict a man living strong in a world that can be heartless at times.
