About Me

Music is what I live and breathe. It's my first love and the bass is an extension of that love. Artists I've with performed with are Yahzarah, Sy Smith, Maggie Brown, Alison Crockett, Julie Dexter, Res, Discopoet Khari B., Pevin Everett & Seance Divine, Res, Christina Sanchez, Malik Yusef, J.Ivy, Tarrey Torrae, Ugochi, Kinky Notti, Christopher Williams(New Jack City), Teresa Griffin, Andreus, Paulina Rubio, Avery R. Young, Jai Will, Theaster Gates, Poetree, Randy Malone(American Idol) and keyboardist Chris Robb. Also I've been fortunate enough to share the stage with Brian Mcknight, Jaguar Wright, Eric Benet, Rose Royce, Corey Wilkes, Roy Hargrove, as well as Chicago jazz legends Jimmy Ellis, and Ernest Dawkins. Where will you find me? Always in the pocket! I believe in never being comfortable with one style of music; to stand still, means you are not growing. Because of that, it's important that I submerge myself in different styles of music with diverse artists. Doing things this way ensures that I will always evolve. One of my greatest joys comes from helping an artist flesh out their vision, while adding my own spirit and creativity. Currently I'm playing alot of jazz and improvisational music. I enjoy playing with musicians that connect on a deeper level and create a vibe that people can feel.Some of my live performances can be seen at My Blog, feel free to check them out.
