Music for Changing Times

About Me

What's up everyone! I am a composer and music producer with a broad range of musical influences. The songs in my player are all original and all instruments are being played by me as well as most of the vocals. My primary instrument is the keyboard; however, I play a little guitar as well. As a live player, I try to make most tracks sound as if they were recorded by a live band using real instruments versus a sequencer. This makes my music very adaptable to dynamic live performance. As a producer, the ability to mimic the dynamics of a live band with a sequencer makes my style unique, especially in the rock and ballad genres.Over the years I have played keyboards in many different types of bands including live hip hop bands, rock, and r&b/funk bands. I have also played keyboard in my church for several years. It is my love for playing that fuels my creativity in the studio. I occasionally collaborate with spoken word artist, rappers, and singers. COUNTDOWN features Ara Stratton and Ray Swoope on verses 2 & 3 respectively. THE SKY IS FALLING features Ara Stratton on the first verse.Much of my music is suitable for tv/movie applications. I am sure I would be a valuable asset to any music production team.
