About Me

About me.... hmmmm ....I am, in a nutshell, a RENEGADE ROCKSTAR ... .. What that means is that I make music EVERYDAY in EVERY WAY I can. I am alive and blessed because I have music in my life. MUSIC IS THE LOVE OF MY LIFE. I passionately LOVE making music. I am in search of it every single second of my life. I hear it in the rhythms of life passing me by when I take a walk. I see it in the clouds and feel it on the breeze. I am incredibly inspired by the musicians who have brought me up, taught me everything I know, and challenge me to be a better musician, writer, and song stylist.

I miss music. I mean, I miss the way music USED to be...Once in a while, I get a chance to hear something really great. To me, Frank McComb is an undeniable talent, for example. I can't ever get enough of hearing Donald Barrett play the drums or Tommy King rock the keys. Charles Jones not only plays piano in some kind of Fifth Dimension that you simply have to hear to believe, he can sing his face off too. And don't even get me started about Zane Carney on guitar. These are just a few of the young talented crew that really knocks me off my feet.

I have recently been blessed to go back to St. Barths for a second season of swimming, speaking french , singing with the local choir, and rockin ' out every single night. Perhaps the greatest experience I've had in quite awhile was being invited to perform with Patou and YOUTHWAVES in Martinique where we invented another new genre ZOUK.ROCK.SOCA.SOUL!!!

I am grateful beyond words to the following individuals for believing in me, and shaping my artistry from the beginning: Reggie Griffin, Nile Rodgers, Nick Mundy, Greg Klomp , Gordon Mack III, Rayford Griffin, Jeff Franzel , Bob Leone, Bob Fead . I can't begin to express how EVERY SINGLE MUSICIAN I HAVE EVER BEEN BLESSED TO WORK WITH has inspired me and challenged me, and made me want to be the best musician I can possibly be. I would not have made it through the rough times without the support of my friends, so thanks to each and every one!!

I now have an online store set up so you can purchase and download my tracks below
