About Me
I am an ol' skool crooner who enjoy's singing,
and specializing in the styles of Larnell Harris, Luther Vandross, Al Jarreau, Walt & Scotty from the Whispers and Peabo Bryson to name a few.
I like to have fun with scatting and various improvisational renderings.
I was born and raised in the Motor City (Detroit, MI), I started singing at the age of five with strong roots in gospel and R&B music.
After leaving Detroit with a band called "Klever Affair", and trying to find my way in this business of music I stumbled upon what would soon be known as one of my greatest achievements. I started touring with the famous recording group “The Platters†across America for several years with an average crowd of 3500.
I then sang with the Chris Patrino Band and then Jodi Light & Mario Mendivil in “Straight From The Heart†for roughly eight years across the country and also performed with and/or shared the stage with many celebrities the likes of Little Anthony and the Imperials, Peaches and Herb, Israel Houghton, Eddie James, Joni & Debbie Sledge of Sister Sledge, Al Green, The Delfonics, Kool and The Gang, Gladys Knight, The Drifters, Gary Oliver, and BeBe Winans just to name a few.The Lord chose me when I was around 13 yrs. old.
At the time I didn't quite understand what was happening
to me.So I strayed far away not realizing that God was deliberately guiding my path.I got caught up in a lot of stuff. Namely women and drugs,
but once again God saw to it that I lived through it all
so that I could come to a realization that He is my sufficiency.I was sitting in a Hotel one night in Albany, New York,
in a state of... Well let's just say that I had done enough drugs to have checked out of this existence.I always talked to God when I was high, but this time there
was something strangely different about my conversation.This time I really new or believed that someone was in the room with me and was listening. It was a gentle, compassionate presence.I said to Him, "God if you are really real please stop me from doing this to myself, I know that I can't live much longer living this way".Several weeks later without really noticing at first, I slowly came to the realization that I no longer wanted all the women that I was use to entertaining. I also started to notice that I no longer had a craving for all the drugs that I was doing.It dawned on me that w/o going through severe withdrawals or sickness
God had supernaturally removed these things from my life.I recognized this as a miracle from God. In addition I no longer wanted to be around those that where doing the things that I was use to doing.I found myself wanting more and more of Gods word and presence. I started writing gospel songs.I'm sharing this with you because I truly do want the world to know that GOD IS REAL.If you ask him from a place of desperation or from a place
of utter humbleness, or from whatever place you live in, I
believe that He will meet you there and answer you.Here is a piece of advice:
Don't expect God to answer you in your limited understanding. In other words He may not come the way that you expect Him too, but He will do it in such a way that He can get the greatest Glory out of it. He is not looking for a perfect vessel for none is perfect but GOD!He wants to help you from right where you are.MUCH LOVE AND PEACE TO ALL OF YOU IN THE UNMATCHABLE NAME
OF YESHUA HAMASHIACH!
