Sounds Like: BIGGEST Musical influences are the ones im talkin about that gave me my sound and my style. The reason i play the way i play and produce the way i produce. I still had to do the work and trust im still workin but i owe a LOT to these guys.
JOSEPH JOUBERT- My Uncle virtuoso, this man is widely known throughout the country for what he can make a piano do. He's the man that got me sstarted playing my FIRST chords when i was like 6 or 7. And every week would show me a lil more.
KEVIN MCKOY - My Uncle. Grew up listening to him kill it on the keys and organ, he never really showed me a lot directly but hearin him play while i was little helped instill a determination to be like him and learn how to play. Instead of askin him to show me everything he did i would try to learn it by ear.
MARK TORRES - Just listening to this man play every week at Agape has made me 3 times better a musician. and playin alongside him revamped my entire way of thinking. He taught me to think outside the box when i play, and at the same time also taught me how to play WITH people in a band and be SHARP with watching cues and playin my role. This man is not human sometimes.
JAMIE HAWKINS - Got me started in Music production. Advised me on his own approach to production and blew my socks off when i came to his studio before he moved outta NJ. First producer i was cool with that was actually doing something noteworthy.
Other influences include these that i dont know..but listen a lot to: Chic Corea, Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, Babyface, Teddy Riley, Oscar Peterson, Alex Bugnon, George Duke, Joe Sample, Dave Grusin, Dave Weckl, Jaco Pastorius, Marcus Miller, Bobby Sparx, Shedrick Mitchell
