A Brief Background History:
As the 21st century begins...there's one form of communication that's been crossing the oceans for thousands of years: MUSIC.
The heart rhythm of true dance music pulses its message, free from the limits of time, space or politics. My style of playing guitar is a product of this tradition, mixing funk, soul, jazz, blues, reggae, Latin, New Orleans zouk, salsa, soca, and even some straight-ahead rock.
I am a native of Los Angeles, emerging from a few high-school-garage-bands back in the day, I've spent a few years on the road, including touring West Africa as a member of LaToya Jackson's band.
I have done extensive recording session work (mostly demos and remix projects) with various record-label acts such as The Jacksons, Barry White, Marvin Gaye, Jill Scott, and Shanice Wilson as well as most of the phenomenal musicians and vocalists listed under "my friends".
I have also layed tracks for a few TV commercials and Radio spot/jingles.
