Born and raised in Michigan I started out performing in stage productions ranging from Beehive, Once on This Island, Dreamgirls, Wine in the Wilderness,and countless others even being cast as a replacement for Shenzi in Disney's "The Lion King". Once I moved to Chicago in 1998 I joined a few bands which led me to bassist and friend Lamar Jones (who was instrumental in the introduction to alot of the cats i now play and cowrite with) and began performing around the city. I've always had a knack for writing so finally I was fortunate to meet up with Keith Henderson who co-wrote and guided me thru my first cd "The Many Moods of Me".(check him out at myspace.com/titesound) Cd has had extremely successful sales worldwide and with the help of many supportive friends and fans I have been able to put on my own concerts, selling out the HotHouse and packing the PARKWEST to cap! (who woulda thunk it...yeah i said thunk it). Im now burning the midnight oil writing and working on my follow up cd entitled "A Sound of my Own" with the help of producers such as Keith Henderson, Khari Parker (yes yes yawl,drummer from Destiny's Child, Raphael Saadiq, Boz Skaggs and Joss Stone can push the faders for real!) SHARAY REED (straight funky) G WIZ and a few other hot cats. Other than that Im still flying the friendly skies until Im able to sing, sell or whatever a song that will allow me to stop the Madness!

Influences: I am very appreciative that I have had the chance to meet and have had conversations with Fantasia, Terrance Howard, Regina King, Lauren Bacall, Cicely Tyson, Muhammad ALI (he kissed me yawl) Angela Bassett and Tamyra Gray...While out in L.A. with songwriter Preston Glass I met PRINCE and LARRY GRAHAM!!! Three of my funky spiritual and musical brothers.I just met David Foster at CMW (yes the David Foster) got the chance to sing with him and he said "you have alot of soul in your voice, I would love to make a record with you" (im still waking up from fainting) I recorded "Everything I Miss at Home" on the Many Moods cd and never thought I would have the chance to meet Cherrelle...then low and behold, I received the opportunity to not only meet her but sing background and open for her as well as Jean Carne, Angela Winbush and Shirley Jones (by the way...Cherrelle loved it..thanks Chris Robb!!!} Also got to open for Mo'nique, Michelle Branch, Avant, Wayman Tisdale, Paul Taylor and sang with and licensed "Many Moods" to Marcus Johnson for the Three Keys Music compilation Grown & Sexy. So i feel blessed to have met that many people but if i had to say... Oprah Winfrey, Ella Fitzgerald, Aretha Franklin, Louis Armstrong, Gladys Knight, Sting, Prince, Will & Jada, Mary J, Faith Hill, CeCe Peniston, Missy E, Heavy D, Babyface, Queen Latifah and anyone else living their dream, not forgetting where they came from and keepin it real! Just did a show hosted by Ms. Erykah Badu and let me tell you all...she is so nice, real and laid back its refreshingly ridiculous! Yawl, support that sister as she does so much for us Indies!!!
Sounds Like: The soundtrack of my life ranges from Sly and the Family Stone, Prince, John Coltrane, Aretha Franklin, Roberta Flack, Annie Lennox, RUN-DMC, Stevie Wonder, Sting, Bob Marley and so on and so on. With an influence like that I have been compared to Lisa Stansfield, Mary J. Blige, Aretha Franklin, Jill Scott and believe it or not...Ella Fitzgerald (that bottom register...BASEMENT)Though the most flattering thing i hear most is...I have my own sound and am not an imitation of anyone. I LOVE THAT! I have my own voice hate it or love it though what i am told is that the way to truly appreciate me is to let me perform. I love the stage... I love the Peoples!!!
