I am a guitarist / songwriter and vocalist who has been playing guitar since the age of 13. I started out playing at the New Mt. Carmel Church of Washington, D.C. What inspired me to play the guitar was when I joined the D.C. Youth Orchestra in elementary school playing the viola. It was that instrument that led my Dad to buy me a guitar for Christmas.
At the age of twenty-one I was a guitarist / vocalist for a group called the Busey Brothers. We played at local block parties and clubs and at one gig met an entertainer named Little Royal, who we toured with at clubs, bars, cabarets and hotels, in the Southeastern United States.
I relocated to New York City to further pursue my music career. Shortly after arriving, I began to play in Central Park and the Subway system as a street musician. The style of music I play is R&B, with blends of Smooth, Cool and Soul jazz by influenced by artists such as George Benson, Norman Brown, BB King, Miles Davis, Santana, Joe Pass, and various other jazz and R&B artists. I attended York College in Jamaica Queens from 1993 to 1998 and graduated with a Bachelor of Science, Information Systems Management. In 1998 I relocated to Washington, DC I was able to compose original jazz music, and I currently perform live with a band and the D.C. area named "Chemistry". I also became involved with my own project to record original songs in my digital home studio. That brings us to this very moment, and the CD you are listening to.
