I have been singing for over 16 years, from church and school choirs to hundreds of weddings and concerts. Growing up in Cleveland, Ohio, I sang with a few different groups, which performed in many festivals and musical events throughout Cleveland and neighboring cities. I was also very active as a soloist while attending Shaker Heights High by singing the national anthem for all basketball games junior and senior year as well as other talent shows, and theatrical programs. Shortly after entering OSU in Columbus, Ohio for college, I decided that it was time to totally breakaway from the group scene and dedicate myself to a solo career, in and outside of school. By my sophomore year I was very actively performing in many programs and talent shows on campus. For a brief period of time, I was the one of the main performers on a short lived college show called O Sizzle. I also continued to sing in talent shows, special events, weddings and concerts throughout Ohio. I have opened for dozens of artists beginning with Montell Jordan in 1996 to Kelly Price in 2004. My vocal influences are many including Luther Vandross, Patti LaBelle, Toni Braxton, Anita Baker, Maxwell, and the list goes on. Throughout my musical career, I have maintained a consistent school agenda with earning my Bachelor of Arts Degree from OSU in December of 2004 while working part-time and full-time since the age of 15. Even now at the age of 26, I have never stopped performing or recording regardless of the struggles with time and strength to do it all. I know that pursuing a career in entertainment is near impossible to many, but I am here to make the example that it is possible and no one should be discouraged from doing what they love because of the level of difficulty. Many have told me I won't make it to the top, but I wont stop until I get there. I have been blessed that people continue to love my gift of music. I am a man who loves music and was blessed with a voice to express that love. I have a passion for ballads but can still wear out an up tempo. I live to deliver many great performances to many audiences.
