Whitaker

I was born on the East Coast of the States, lived in 41 out of 50 states, Europe and Asia. I decided to commute to work (from the USA to EUROPE) so that I can spend more time with my two teenage sons. The ride to work is long but the reward is worth it. I've performed with: The Bobby Durham Trio, Golden Gospel Pearls, Karen Edwards, Billy Cobham, Stanley Jordan, The Kenny Barron Trio, Keiter Betts, The George Green Band, George Roberts, Charly Antolini, Shawnn Monterio, Carola Grey, Massimo Farao and Archie Shepp and recorded many house CD's with Chicago's well-known DJ Tyree Cooper. I began my musical career performing and composing music for various singer and musicians in the New Jersey/ New York area. These experiences helped me form my own Jazz and R&B groups throughout my high school and college years. I have toured and performed with groups throughout the major parts of Europe and Asia. I have a funk and soul CD and a recently recorded Jazz CD. I'm now in the process of recording my third CD. I've also worked as a fashion photographer in New York, Los Angeles, Milan, Paris, London and San Francisco. Some of my work will be posted on this page soon.
