LOVE YOU MORE THAN I LOVE MY CLAVINET.

About Me


I have been blessed to perform and record with an incredibly diverse group of players -- from hip hoppers to psychedelic rockers, from broadway divas to deep down and dirty blues artists, from jazz groups to funk bands, and some of the greatest musicians of the rhythm and blues world! Opening for the godfather of soul, James Brown, and tap dancing with the legendary Howard "Sandman" Sims (in his kitchen) have been two of the most wonderful experiences of my artistic life! I'm a collaborator-- love to share my music and support other artists. CURRENTLY WORKING ON A NEW RECORDING PROJECT! Keep your eyes peeled and your ears open!
