Even at that age, his voice and spirit moved all who heard him. He may not have known then what was in store but everyone that heard him knew he was a singing force not be reckoned with.His first opportunity to perform outside of church was at the age of 7 @ the Pathway Lounge which led to his first audition: To name a few at age 14 his first professional gig was a Musical Director that lasted 5 years @ a sleep away Summer Camp for disabled children. At age 16 he wrote and sung the title track Youll find it in Jesus w/ the Jersey City Mass Choir. Then went on as a featured opening act for the gospel play My Grandmother Prayed and starred in the play, The Streets Cant Have My Son, written and directed by Carl Hicks Jr.Throughout his career, he has done studio/session work for such artist as The Fine Young Cannibals, Wyclefs Melkey Sedek, K-Star, Run DMC & Barbara Tucker.
