About Me

Welcome to my music page.Originally from the island of Trinidad and Tobago but was raised on the beautiful island of St Maarten. I am blessed to be able to play guitar for a living. I have performed on stage with many great artists such as Eric Benet, Heather Headley, New Edition, George Clinton, Percy Sledge, The Mighty Sparrow, The Avila Brothers, Nestor Torres, Euge Groove and Marion Meadows. I have also recorded with Chris Brown on his version of "This Christmas". I appeared on the "Girlfriends" tv show on the "Hustle and Dough" episode and also on the Jack in the Box commercial "Can't stop the funk".Reggae Soul Jazz is a fusion of all the styles that have influenced me over the years. I am a big fan of Bob Marley, Curtis Mayfield and Ronny Jordan. The music is reggae and dancehall based, mixed with a good dose of Curtis Mayfield inspired rhythm guitars and a touch of Ronny Jordan and Benson style leads.
