About Me

What up y'all. Here it is, my attempt at my story. I was born and raised outside Washington D.C. and as a child was captivated by the sound of powerful music. Whether it was the classical music that my grandfather played or the jazz and blues that my father had me listenin to at 3 years old. It was in me. During my childhood i fiddled with the piano and trumpet before i seriously began playing the guitar. Ofcourse, like any young student of the guitar i must admit i was inspired by guys like Hendrix and the whole idea of livin like a rock star. But Because of the music that touched my soul as a child, i am know driven to play that music that is the most expressive and has the power to push humanity forward and encourage positive thinking in all people. Jazz music. During my stay in LA, i have worked with numerous artists including N'Dambi, Jaguar Wright, J moss, Mike Phillips, Keite Young, Frank McComb, Walter Hawkins, Lina, Teedra Moses,Kim Burrell, and Natalie Cole. I am always interested in moving music forward and I Love too play.
