About Me

My lifelong passion for music started at the age of nine, which is when I began formal saxophone training in Maryland. I honed my skills while playing in church as a youth and continue to minister with my gift in both the Christian and Secular arenas.
I have had the experience of performing with many talented individuals including: the late Grover Washington, Jr., the late Stanley Turrentine, Pieces of a Dream, Marion Meadows, Norman Connors, Brian McKnight, Ollie Woodson of The Temptations, the Clark Sisters, The Winans, Fred Hammond, and Richard Smallwood. I also performed on albums with Ben Tankard, Alvin Nesbitt, and Amos Davis. For four years I was a band member and music director for the Grammy Award winner Yolanda Adams. While playing with Yolanda, I also had the opportunity to record on her album “More Than a Melody”. During the same time I was also a band member of the legendary Jean Carne. My experiences with Yolanda Adams and Jean Carne helped me to polish my stage presence.
My first album, “You've Been So Good”, is an expression of God's perfect will being performed in my life. The soothing tones on my second album, "Royal Love Songs", were inspired by a combination of life events. I currently have two more projects pending release in 2008, but you can listen to a few of the tracks here on myspace in advance of the release.
My goal is to use the gift God gave me in music as a language to cross all barriers. Just listen to the featured songs on this site and hopefully you will be able to feel the energy and soul that went into creating them for yourself.
