Hi!! Visit my website at jazzlover.com for more info.
My music is also available to buy at Apple iTunes and CDBaby
My musical background includes performing with artists such as Harold Todd (sax player for Lenny Kravitz), Artie Webb (legendary Latin Jazz Flutist), Eric Stiller (Los Angeles studio bassist for many artists), and the late Curtis Peagler (sax player for Ray Charles and Count Basie). I was a participant in the first jazz flute masterclass given by virtuoso flutist James Newton in 1999. During my college years I received a scholarship award from the Professional Music Scholarship Program at the Berklee College of Music, but I never made the trip to Boston to pursue it.
My approach to the flute comes from an unconventional musical education. Whereas most flutists are conservatory trained, I am primarily a "self-taught" musician that loves jazz, r&b, and contemporary music which is my main musical inspiration that drives me to interpret emotions through an instrument not usually reserved for jazz.
In addition to playing flute, I am a composer and publisher member of ASCAP. I am currently working on recording and producing my next musical project.
My debut CD entitled "In This Moment" was cowritten, coperformed, and coproduced with Brian Tracy Evans who is a fantatic creative artist and singer too...the project is a fantastic CD full of upbeat and funky smooth jazz that features 10 original tracks with styles ranging from smooth jazz, to acid-jazz, and soulful ballads. The CD is full of music that will get you grooving, along with soulful mellow melodies to kick back and relax with. The music from "In This Moment" has received fabulous reviews as well as television and film broadcast.
Thanks for listening and thanks for checking out the music...
" In This Moment is pure smooth jazz and the smoothest execution of the flute... Each track is soulful and moves you like no other..."
