About Me

Producer/Songwriter/Arranger/EngineerI've been messing around with sounds, songs, and arrangements for the last 30 years and i still find it fascinating. in the mid 80's i was part of the band Scritti Politti for the albums "Cupid and Psyche '85" and "Provision". I continued on after those albums as an independent producer and songwriter working with artists such as Chaka Khan, Meshell N'degeocello, Green Gartside, Sheila E., George Benson, Luther Vandross, Miles Davis, Al Jarreau, and Roger Troutman to name a few. Scritti, Meshell, and Chaka all got grammy nominations from the work we did. I spent 5 years on staff at Warner Bros. Records as an A&R/Staff Producer. i've also written for television and film. div
