About Me

Hey Folks, I have been blessed to have a career in music as a Drummer, Songwriter, Arranger, Keyboardist and Studio owner for over 20 years. As a performer I've played halls as large as the Apollo Theatre, Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center and Cami Hall and as small as the Blue Book Jazz club, The Mark IV, on the Harlem Chittlin circuit. A few artists I have had the privilege of working with are Vanessa Bell Armstrong, Ted Lange, Maurette Brown Clark, Reuben Wilson, Daryl Coley, All-For-7, Amin Laboriel, Carolyn Byrd, Alan Glover, The Inspirations Of Joy, Kabala, Barry D and Eric and Sandra Huff, Leo & Dorothy Colon, Gerald Trottman, Jerry Hutchinson, Canaan Baptist Mass Choir, Bethel Gospel Assembly Choir, Words of Life Choir, Chapter 2, Charles Mack and Friends & Love. I consider myself a lifelong student of music always willing to learn something new from young or old. These days I'm doing a lot more arranging for my own group as well as my Jazz, Christian and Film music clients. Everything takes place at my Lab....... Pro Tools HD2 equipped Brownstone Recording Studio here in Harlem. Brownstone has been covered in Mix magazine as well as the EQ magazine (Check out the mixonline.com web page) I've been musically educated at Berklee College in Boston and my Business Degree is from the Borough Of Manhattan Community College BMCC. My motto has always been, refuse to be one dimensional remain open to being taught. Grow, Grow, Grow. Check out the music it's a mixture of my drumming, writing and arranging. The current uploaded music is available at ITunes, or your local retailer. Thanks for stopping by and keep checking back because the music is always changing.
