About Me

I was born in Jackson Mississippi in 1973, and moved to Smyrna Tennessee in 1978. My inspirations in life are God, my loving parents Linda and Leon, my sister Jackie (and Shannon of course), my dear friends (Jenn, ATV, Wagz, Scott Lang, Rich Alexander, Mike and Chrystal Newbern, Lake, to name a few) and a little guy named John that worked at my grade school.A few people I have played gigs with or backed up: The Coasters, The Dells, Bootsy Collins, The Temptations, The Drifters, Lonnie Mack, Crystal Gayle, Charlie Daniels, Reggie Calloway, Manhattan Transfer, Carroll DeCamp, Bobby Jones, Little Anthony/Imperials, Steve Turre, Charo, Clarence Dobbins, Saleno Clark, Carl Weathersby, Chris Vadala, Tony Monaco, Josh Groban, The Cincinnati Pops, the touring Broadway Play "Love, Janis".I wrote and created the curriculum for an undergraduate degree in Jazz Studies at Northern Kentucky University. I run the EMPOWER Program, a community outreach program designed to return the roots of African-American artistry in jazz/blues to urban and at-risk youth.I have traveled much of the US, performed in Canada and the UK. If you watch Indy Films, Gary Winters and I play the seduction scene in "Art Works". I think I blushed.OK that's enough about me, now tell me about you!
