About Me


I've been writing since the "wonder years" of childhood, but started writing music seriously in 2005. I write about the things we've all experienced and are experiencing. I try and do so from a general perspective but sometimes my personal ones are expressed in song. I've learned so much from attending the ASCAP "I Create Music" Expo in California, and met some really talented people. I network and work with others in the industry with hopes of hearing people singing along to songs I've played a part in bringing to life. My strength is writing lyrics. Although R&B and Pop are featured on my page, I enjoy writing lyrics in all genres.I've been lucky enough to work with Keith Henderson whose musical talents span from such projects as The Emotions, R Kelly, Nicole Mitchell, to Aaliyah, Destiny’s Child and many more. That’s just the tip of the iceberg. Very humble and helpful, there are countless other Artist and Musicians he's worked with. I soaked up as much about the industry as I could and continue to learn from him. Currently I've completed a song for Nicole Mitchell's highly anticipated sophomore CD due out in May of 2008.The songs on my page are available. "Hurt Affair" has already been picked up, but, "Can I", "No Greater Name" and "Flip'n Out" are available and arrangements can be made by contacting me through this page.

Influences: PEOPLE I'VE WORKED WITH' The people scrolling above each have had an influence on my career. While working with them I try to always take the roll of the student and learn something from each experience, session, and even phone conversation. Growing up, School, life, family and friends. Also Jermaine Dupri and Just Blaze after hearing them speak at the ASCAP "I Create Music" Expo in 2007. As talented as these two men are, they made it seem obtainable as long as you have talent and tenacity,.. A whole bunch of tenacity!Nicole Mitchell "A Sound of My Own" Cd Release Party and Concert at the Dusable Museum June 2008
