I grew up in Northeastern North Carolina in the city of Ahoskie. I then attended the University of North Carolina. Upon completion of my studies, I moved to Los Angeles. With Los Angeles now being my home, it enabled me to move forward in the entertainment industry, more specifically, the music industry.

I am one of the principals of...SE Entertainment Records and WHAM Associates. I have a very beautiful and talented sister, recording artist - Nikkole! You can check her out at Myspace also: www.myspace.com/TheNikkoleNetwork. She has been featured in Ebony Magazine, BRE Magazine and has been getting airplay around the world!

Some of you already know that I manage Nikkole's career, but what some of you may not know is that I also am one of Nikkole's background vocalists. I thoroughly enjoy every moment of it! I write and produce with Nikkole as well. We work with many other artists also. I have always envisioned myself doing this and those of you who knew me from my childhood, know that this is what I always wanted to do. I feel like that I am reaching my all-time high goals in life and I am grateful to be on this path in life.

Her debut album, "Appearances" was well received and received two awards from Virgin Free Radio and JPF. "Appearances" also spawned two great singles, "Hanging By A Tattered Thread" and "Over It." Nikkole's song "Beautiful Colors" was chosen in 2008 by Mattress Firm for a national ad campaign! Mattress Firm is the largest mattress retailer in the United States. Television and Radio ads began on April 30th, 2008 and will be expanding throughout the country.

Nikkole's second album, "A Girl Like Me" has taken Nikkole to the next level. This album featured 3 singles with the first being "It's Too Late" feat. The Emotions (Best Of My Love / Boogie Wonderland / Don't Ask My Neighbors). The second single was the infectious groove, Gon' Bounce, which shot up the charts and debuted at #1 on American Idol Radio in the first week of it's release! "Gon' Bounce" was followed by the third single, "Breathe" a neo-soul cut, which was up for 2 Grammy Nominations at the 50th Annual Grammy Awards. Nikkole herself, was up for Nomination in the Best New Artist category. "A Girl Like Me" was featured in numerous publications including Ebony, Billboard and BRE!

Nikkole is also featured on "You Keep Lifting Me Higher" Track No. 2 from the Norman Brown cd, "Stay With Me" (2007) which was #1 on the Billboard Contemporary Jazz Charts for 8 weeks. It remained in the Billboard Top 10 for over 4 months. Nikkole is not only singing on the song, but she wrote and arranged it as well.

In 2008, Nikkole is pulling out all of the stops! In addition to touring, she has been in the studio recording her brand new album, "Creolepatra," which is being released on August 12th, 2008! The first single from the album is entitled, "E-X-OTIC" and is going for adds at radio on July 1st, 2008. The maxi-single of "E-X-OTIC" will be available for downloads everywhere on July 8th, 2008. The music video for "E-X-OTIC" is also being released on July 1st, 2008.

So be on the lookout for us... Nikkole and the crew are going to tear it up!!!

My Interests

Music (Writing / Producing / Performing), Photography and believe it or not - Model Railroading (it takes me away from day to day stresses). Although I don't get to do it much, I love to have BBQ's and Dinner Parties with family and friends. There is something to be said about socializing around the Dinner Table. It can be a place of comfort and conversation.

I'd like to meet:

People with depth. People who are real. People with character.

Music:

Nikkole / Mariah / Teena Marie / Beyonce / Phyllis Hyman / Luther Vandross / Alicia Keys / The Emotions / Robin Thicke / Earth, Wind & Fire / Raheem Devaughn / Kelly Price / Aretha Franklin / Chante Moore / Kenny Lattimore / Elliott Yamin / Shanice / Will Downing / Musiq Soulchild / Glenn Lewis / Etta James / Ella Fitzgerald / The Jones Girls / Lena Horn / Sarah Vaughn / Destiny's Child / Babyface / After 7 / Vesta / Whitney and so many others.

Movies:

I'm not a huge movie buff and I guess that is because I don't get time to go out to the movies a lot. I do like movies though --- just haven't seen that many lately. I especially love comedies, horror / scary movies and yes I do like an occasional tear-jerker.

Television:

Due to the nature of my business, I don't get to watch a lot of TV, but some of my favorite shows are old shows that are on Nick-at-Night and TBS.... Love all the cool old skool shows like: Mama's Family, The Jeffersons, Golden Girls, Designing Women, The Cosby Show, A Different World, Rosanne and Good Times. When I get a chance to watch currrent shows on TV, I like: Law and Order, 20/20, Dateline, Will and Grace, and eventhough, I am not a huge fan of reality shows, I get a huge kick out of Wife Swap and Trading Spouses. Wife Swap and Trading Spouses will certainly get a chuckle out of me...it never fails. Oh and let's not forget... I love Judge Judy...that woman should be the President!!! As my grandmother always said when I was a little boy..."You betta straighten up and fly right." If Judge Judy were president, she would have everything and everybody in check. Y'all hear me!!!

Books:

I particularly enjoy Maya Angelou poems because I always am able to reach into myself and reflect as her writing has always challenged me to think. I have also been reading a lot of industry books lately, which helps me navigate through this tough, exhausting, yet somewhat exciting Music Business.

Heroes:

Nikkole and the band at BB Kings, Los Angeles Backgrounds: Wallace & Frankie Drums: Khalil Guitar: E On the 1's & 2's: DJ Cash
