Sobre IBD

Now Eye See is the story of challenge and triumph. It is a tale of fortitude and faith in oneself and in God. It chronicles my life from very humble beginnings in Chester, Pa. to Whaleyville, a tiny town on Marylands Eastern Shore to an unlikely and fortuitous journey that carries me to the big city of Manhattan, New York. Now Eye See tells my story of going from picking blueberries and wearing a straw hat on a farm in Maryland to a job as personal secretary to a permanent mission to the United Nations. From being monolingual to self-learning and the adoption of French as a second language, purely as a survival necessity. Although completely unaware of my own familial roots in Music and Journalism, this is my story of a search for a career as a songwriter and professional recording artist. And as a private custodial business owner that suffered disastrously during the economic crises of 2008, which resulted in my own displacement as well as the loss of all my possessions including all evidence of my small successes in the music industry. This is the story of my life and how I have been able and fortunate to reinvent myself to become successful in a new career. This is the narrative of unbelievable luck and a chance conversation in the offices of a New York City hospital. A conversation that spurred a listener to google my name and to help begin the process of recovery and rejuvenation. Of a mysteriously placed photograph taken by a world famous photographer. And of my namesake and nephew whom Id never met: a soldier for the US Army killed in a roadside bombing in IraqOctober 2004. This is the story of the rediscovery of all my work and of my vinyl recordings being offered for sale in eight countries around the world. This then is the unaltered story of my rights and my wrongs. Maurice Fortune
