Meet Roshane Karunaratne aka The General. Born in Staten Island, this super musically talented man can be found cruising around Asbury on his skateboard, long hair blowing in the wind. I’ve always been so fascinated by musicians… especially when they can play ALL the instruments. When I found out Roshane played piano, I knew we had to snap a few photos of him banging on the keys. This guy can pick up a guitar, bass and drums like it ain’t no thang. If you invite him to a party, he’s been known to hijack the music.
“Ro” can be found daydreaming about playing music at The Seven Wonders of the World or flying a plane. He also loves trail biking, chess, kayaking and making animations. Ro and his buddy Andrew make up the band, Mister Tickle Hands. They say they "like to make funky dance music and love to make people dance” with their psychedelic dance music.
When asked about the jewelry, Roshane said that he loves the CMD jewelry and that “it’s a very unique style that I’ve never seen before.” Next time you see Roshane at one of his shows, don’t be surprised if he’s rocking our square rings. The jewelry sure does look good on you, General!

Sometimes when you go back to the place where it all started, you begin to see things through a completely different lens. At 18 years old, there was nothing I wanted more than to leave NJ and see the world. I wanted to move west, travel, and fulfill my creative dreams. I didn’t know where I was headed or how it would [...]
