Scroll on to navigate the musical map to his world.

I) Indra - Thievery Corporation

"There's something magical about Thievery's sound.... I listen to it when I need to just relax, and sometimes when I just need to pass quietly into deep slumber."

II) Rocket - Beyonce

"Beyonce is one of my favourite artists. Rocket is so sexy.... lyrically, the song is rather provocative, but it's also so elegant and romantic. Needless to say, this is great to set the mood."

III) Angel - Sarah Mclachlan

"Sarah Mclachlan is one of my all-time favourite artists. Mostly I listen to her when I'm feeling down... I find indulging in her music really helps me get over whatever's troubling me."

IV) Bjork - Crystalline (Omar Souleyman Remix)

"Initially, I used to find Bjork just plain odd... but as I grew up, she intrigued me more and more. There's something absolutely unique and poetic about her music. She was definitely way ahead of her time. I'm frankly in love with most of her music, but when I'm in the car driving to work, I love listening to this remix of Crystalline. It makes me fingers dance!"

V) Luvvbazaar - Ssion

"I absolutely adore the video of this track... it makes me want to just get up and dance! The singer Cody Critcheloe has crazy uninhibited style, and I love how he makes pop music so sexy and fun. I would totally love to wear makeup and long hair, don a mustache and tassels and a blinged out hat and go out dancing with my crazies!"

VI) Maverick Sabre - I Used To Have It All

"One of the most powerful songs and vocals, I love listening to his unique soulful voice when I'm  home alone and I can shout the lyrics out and attempt to sing half as well as he can."

VII) Alane - Wes

"This reminds me of when I was a boy in school, and how we would stand in rows and do the Alane dance... the video is still so beautiful. The dancers look happy in white and move so beautfully. I still dont know what the lyrics mean, but the rhythm is so haunting, you just want to hear it over and over again. Alane is definitely one for those happy, celebratory moments of joy!"

VIII) Thinkin' it Lately - Fernandez & Wright

"I love this because it's sung by my cousin Vanessa Fernandez... she's a pianist, but she now has her own band and makes this lovely music. I like how smooth and sexy she sounds in this track, and people always enquire about it when I play it at dinners or evenings at home."

IX) Joshua Ledet - When a Man Loves a Woman

"This is a classic song that's always going to be beautiful. I'm a sucker for romance, and this song is so filled with admiration and love, it's beautiful. I never cared for the Michael Bolton version as much as I love the Ledet version. He infuses so much soul into the performance, it gives me goosebumps each time. So, so powerful!"

X) The Black Keys - Sinister Kid

"This is my favourite sex song. (laughs)It's true... no other way to put it. Nothing quite like memorable sex!"
