About Me

1st off God is my "Homie" because He gave me this musical gift and without Him...I am nothing. I'm from Michigan, but I now live in Indianapolis, Indiana AKA NAP TOWN...the 9th Largest city in the America. Indianapolis, Indiana is like "home to me" because my Father's side of the family is from here. I Love the NAP just as much as Michigan. I work in downtown Indianapolis, Indiana. In my spare time I'm in the studio a lot making music because I can play the piano by ear, bass guitar by ear and the drums "aka the SET". I also sing and rap too. I'm a very busy man with goals to reach so if I want something I go after it.
In the spring and summer of 06 I played for 54 weddings because of my skills on the keyboard. I also traveled to Detroit for 15 of my weddings and I went to Minneapolis, Minn, Chicago, IL, Cincinnati, Clevland, Brooklyn, NY & St. Louis for other weddings. In 2007, I played for 57 weddings, most of them in the state of Indiana. I write and produce songs. I also do collaborations on songs and put together music for underground R&B, Jazz and Gospel Singers as well as Rappers. I love traveling around the US doing what I love.
On Sunday's, I Play for four different Churches, 2 In Indianapolis, Indiana, 1 in Kokomo, Indiana & my home Church in Albion, Michigan (where my Father is the Pastor). I like to have fun, laugh, crack jokes and enjoy life...and for those around me to be comfortable and do the same.
