ATTENTION! Myspace friends, my single "Prices" is now on sale @ www.DigStation.com for .99 cents.Thank you for your support!I was born in November on the caribbean island of Antigua, gained my love for music at an early age and by 5 years old, I was singing and performing around the house with my brothers and sisters for my family.I was influenced by singers such as Marvin Gaye, Michael Jackson, Barry White, Stevie Wonder and Luther Vandross. With the help of my mother I was able to enter local talent shows where I was awarded a few times for my outstanding performances. By the time I turned 10, I was singing in the church choir.By age 12 I began to realize my song writing capabilities and skillfully started writing my own songs and at times performing them at different venues. However, the Caribbean’s a tough place for an aspiring R&B artist and like most young boys I got heavily into sports. As I got into my teens I couldn’t keep the music out of my head and after one night in a karaoke bar I realized it’s what I was meant to do. From that point I decided to rededicate all my energy into my writing & singing/performing. I started a group while still in school called, Relentless. After a few performances at well-known venues such as Calypso Spectacular and the Miss Antigua Beauty Pageant, we regrettably broke up.Although a singer by nature, I had other interests such as; track & field, archery, cooking and the arts. With regards to instruments, I played the trumpet in the National Orchestra and I am also a single tenor steel pan player. I am now 21 and with my drive, determination, passion and love for music, singing & performing, I have something to share and give to the world. Hoping that I will be given that opportunity, I can prove that I am and will be a very valuable asset to the music entertainment industry.
