Berman: My musical odyssey thus far

The young messenger of the gods is a vocalist, multi-instrument player, poet, visual artist and cultural activist but despite his all-round talent and achievements, he does not have much to show for it. Even though the artist concedes that times are hard for him because "even my place of abode does not fit a man of my stature", he does not see himself quitting so as to look for an 8-to-5 job because he is a performer first and foremost.

Despite his frustrations locally, he is scheduled to fly to Canada today (Friday) where he is going to take part in First Voices, a programme that seeks to showcase the talents of Aboriginal people all over the world.
