My mother likes telling the story that when I was in eight grade, she put me on punishment, whereby I couldn't watch TV for a week.  So instead I picked up a guitar.....and never put it down.    I don't remember it that way, but somewhere in there I thought it was cool to jump around with a guitar and make a lot of noise.    Eventually, it started to sound good. Along the way, I learned how to play piano and bass.

I've played for gospel choirs throughout college and post college.   One highlight was playing in the backup band for then-up and coming artist, Kirk Franklin for a concert in Atlanta.   I also recorded a CD of Christian jazz instrumentals. 

I am now heavily involved in writing and producing R&B/pop tunes.
