About
Beginning 25 years ago as a composer and performer in the blues, African roots and reggae genres, I am currently teaching and pursuing a PhD in the music department at the University of Virginia. I am a published writer of two books, Jahtigui: The Life and Music of Ali Farka Touré (the only biography of the two-time Grammy winner from Mali) and Blues People Illustrated, a reference book featuring 51 of the greatest acoustic blues artists of the last century. I have also written several articles for a variety of publications, including the Journal of African music, Living Blues Magazine, and the African American Folklorist. I am a 2007 recipient of the MacArthur “genius” grant In 2002 I collaborated with director Martin Scorcese on the documentary film, Feel Like Going Home in which I worked as lead narrator and translator. I am bilingual in French and English, with extensive experience traveling in Africa, Europe and the Caribbean. I am also the owner of two e-commerce stores for which I regularly write sales copy. I was previously the lead copy writer for Ondray glasses, a luxury eyewear company based in Bali, Indonesia.
