About Me

What can I say but Thank You Jesus! I am blessed and God continues to show his grace and mercy towards me. My Bass story is actually an interesting one. I was brought up playing music beginning with drums and piano. I remember as a child at my fathers church playing drums I've always admired the sound of the bass. I can say and more than likely allot of other bass players will say the same thing. "This is nothing like the sound of the low-end". Naturally I picked up the bass soon after. While growing up as a young man, I tinkered around with the bass not really taking it serious but serious enough to play in church and various venue's. So if anybody was to ask me how long have I been playing Bass. I would probably say something to the nature of; over 10yrs but I actually only been serious maybe 3 or 4 yrs. Of course I have allot of catching up to do!!! In the meantime I have been blessed to share my ministry in different parts of the world. From N.Y.C - Bermuda -Paris - Vienna - Africa and other cities and countries. Presently I am honored to accompany on bass Caribbean Gospel Sensation Sherwin Gardner.
I have to definitely thank Gerald Veasley for his annual Bass Boot Camp’s located in Reading PA. Since attending the first Bass Boot Camp I am inspired to continue to grow and learn as a well rounded musician.
