This is music by my oldest, Nicholas, who was born with a musical ear. He's been playing since he was about seven or eight, starting with the steel pan. He is in the East of the River Steel Band, and will have the opportunity later in April to perform at the Levine School of Music's gala. He teaches himself the bass and electric guitar. Now, he's the drummer for an alternative pop punk band, The Yums, with his bff Alex Zelloe. They're both in Florida today, touring Disney World with the Gonzaga Symphonic Band. They'll be playing at the music festival but had an opportunity to run around in the theme parks, Disney and Universal Studios.
To say I'm proud is to say the least. What's so great about Nick is he's teaching his little sister, Taleyah, to play guitar. She has a small guitar, which he uses; but he's teaching her the notes. He could take his music far; and I'm here to support him in as far as he'll like to go. He's also a footballer so he has choices.

About Me
- MPEvans
- Washington, DC, United States
- I'm a naturalized Caribbean immigrant in the grand old U.S.A. I live in the Hillcrest neighborhood of Ward 7 and I'm a forever-journalist. I started my first career as a magazine editor and I haven't been able to give it up. When I started this blog, I was knee-deep into my fourth career as a government public relations specialist. However, I have been heading up my editorial staffing company, Invisible Colours LLC out of my Ward 7 neighborhood. I'm expanding my company's brand by offering video production and other social media technologies for clients. This blog follows my journey as a 40-something-year old in Washington, D.C. Married for several years, I have three kids--a boy and two girls. I am blessed, and I'm loving all that God has given me. I have a master's in journalism from Columbia University and a bachelor's of arts from the University of the West Indies. I hope I can offer a little insight into my life and my experiences. Writing serves as a catharsis for me. It is what I do best. It is what I love. It is who I am.
