About Me

I grew up in Philadelphia in a musical family. My mother had one of the best voices I have ever heard. My father now a great Baptist minister is also an accomplished organist and pianist. My brother is also an accomplished gospel artist who is the creator and leader of Project Sanctified. He plays some mean keybords, any kind, you got it he plays it. I discovered my voice at an early age singing in the children’s choir in my father’s church. Coming from a multi-generational musical family on the maternal and paternal side, I did not began formal training until went to Kenyon College. It was my first voice teacher that suggested that I consider singing as a profession. My first professional gig was singing in the bass and baritone sections in the Charles Williams mixed quartet formed to reconstruct historic music for the film score created by Bernice Johnson Reagon of the PBS film series on slavery, Africans in America. Most recently, I was a featured soloist and ensemble member of the Pierre Walker and Project Sanctified in Villingen, Germany. I continue to perform my role as a featured soloist and ensemble leader of the Robert Wilson and Bernice Johnson Reagon’s Temptations of Saint Anthony production, which has completed several successful European tours since its 2003 premier in Germany and the USA premier at the Brooklyn Academy of Music.
