I met Aminifu on the streets of Hollywood. He stood playing his saxophone with the hope of collecting a few dollars. His attitude was positive and his music was overtaking the sounds of honking cars.

Originally from Wisconsin, he moved to Southern California on May 7, 1975. He spent years traveling to numerous continents and studied various civilizations, visiting temples all over the globe. His message was simply ‘know thy self’. “Know thy self is the gateway to the wisdom.”
