Profile Information

What's your story?
Well . . . I've been the bandleader of Chicago-based Indo-Afro-Caribbean group Funkadesi for almost 14 years. I'm loving it more than ever now, enjoying a family (my spouse and 2 kids), and I have a day job I love -- I'm a licensed clinical psychologist with a small private practice, specializing in diversity issues. Life is good (if a bit busy at times). I am always excited about engaging in global, groovy things happening in Chicago.

Hey Rahul! I"m a fan of Funkadesi! Saw you play on Southport last summer right by my place and loved it. I hope this site becomes a tool for building your audience and the audience for world fusion in general.
