About Me

The list is too long to put here but in short: I'm the most chill fella you've ever met in this life. I don't live to have my time wasted and will not waste anyone's time. I have 0 tolerance for the willfully stupid /ignorant folks. I'm a believer that people come into your life to take from or add to. Those scenarios both can be either positive or negative.I push the mindset of knowing who you deal with in this life. I'm a balanced person that have experienced life,experienced death in 1991 and lives to talk about it. I'm a hard worker- father- a Reverend/Preacher/Reacher- musician- producer- composer-arranger-vocalist- entrepreneur-a true realist-a Dream and Vision Keeper- Assoc.Pastor-life changer/enhancer- sober and focused MAN. I'm a WALKING MIRACLE!! More about me will be in my bio on my upcoming website.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 13/05/2008
Band Members:
Influences: My all time influences are the true singers and true musicians. Nothing against casual beat makers but nobody understands the heartbeat of MUSIC anymore than a musician. We live it, we love it, we daydream it,we make it. Detailed influences are jazz pianists Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, jazz guitarists Wes Montgomery,Earl Klough, Stanley Jordan, Lee Ruittenour. More musicians Tatum, Hubert Powell.Stanley Clark, Stanley Dove( haha). Dennis Chambers, upcoming Tony Royster,Jr.- Vinnie Caliutta, Steve Smith, Patitucci,Weckl, Charles McCarley, Carl "Flute" Johnson ( the last two need to smile on that one but they are hot). Legends like John P.Kee, Marvin Winans,Hezee, Draper,Dillard, and all the true Gospel vets that provided the sound that stood the test of time.
Sounds Like: Yellow Jackets, old school Commissioned, BabyFace, Prince, EWF, Mint Condition, Tribe Called Quest, Four Play. My styles offer the key elements that's been missing in music. The elements that we've been waiting to hear and that thing that made you love what you once heard. Real Music, soulful but urban edge. Non-offensive with all respect to all listeners. Neo Soul action, east coast flava, southern chants/hooks, some west coast organized arrangements. For the most part, years were spent developing a very unique sound with substance. Depending on the song, you're probably gonna get everything in music plus the kitchen sink. Some classical,fusion,funk,gospel,r&b/soul,electronica,jazz/l ight contemporary, ethnic/world music,rock elements and hiphop elements.That's a plate full- no limits, no boundaries.
