Band Members: CREATIVE CONTROL ENTERTAINMENT FIRM...Specializing in creating and providing live music for Entertainment/Fashion/Beauty events!www.myspace.com/creativecontrolevents.comWHAT'S THE BEAUTIFUL THING ABOUT BEING A VOCALIST VERSES A DRUMMER? THE ONLY INSTRUMENT I TAKE FROM VENUE TO VENUE IS MY VOICE!!! THE BROTHAS DO HOLD ME DOWN WHERE THE BAND IS CONCERNED, THOUGH! MUSICIANS COME, MUSICIANS GO, BUT THERE ARE THOSE WHO REMAIN TRUE BLUE THROUGH IT ALL. I MUST GIVE THANKS FOR MY MAN { & PATTI LaBELLE's MAN,TOO!}KEVIN "bam bam" SYKES ( MY MUSIC DIRECTOR/DRUMMER), MY MAN GARY "groove" MASSEY (ELECTRIC,SYNTH,& UPRIGHT BASS) I've been blessed to grace the stage with some Grammy-award winning, Platinum Plaque-having cats from Pa to B'more to DC to Atlanta, GA! I'm just the rookie in this thing, so it feels good to know they feel confident enough in my skills to even give me the time of day on stage!******************************************************
