About Me

just a simple country boy who loves god and lives and breathes music! i've been playing keys for about 19 yrs. now. also play a little drums and acoustic guitar. i've played with derrick "hott soss" cummings(guitarist for brian mcknight,patty labelle,lenny williams and more)at his cd debut in orlando,fl.. some other musicians that also were there:derrick mccrae-(drummer for ga. mass at the time),kirk williams-(keyboardist for janet jackson). i've also played with derrick horne-former music director for joel osteen in houston,also a songwriter and artist in his own right. he's played bass guitar,keys,and acoustic guitar for the likes of john p. kee,israel houghton,and fred hammond to name a few. i've sang with symone dexter-former manager of karen clark-sheard,director of the nashville superchoir,former background singer for karen clark,vesta williams,whitney houston to name a few. i also sang with the group "david" under her direction and vocal coaching for about a yr. or so. members included;kimberly johnson-former suprano for whitney houston,karen clark,vesta williams,my girl nikki-former member of the hit group "anointed". i have been featured on bobby jones "new artist showcase" on bet. i have written about 70 songs now,maybe even more,lol! an arrangement by symone dexter and i of the star spangled banner was featured on bay news nine in tampa,fl. in a tribute to the victims of 9/11. i believe the most important thing in the life of an artist is the anointing! nothing pleases god more than true worship! i am nothing more than an instrument which god plays,nothing more. i live for his presence!found this music layout at HOT FreeLayouts.com
