I was born in Miami-Dade County August 14, 1957.  Music is what makes my life worth living it defines my every mood.  That's the beauty of music; the right melody over a perfect groove laid to a timely beat with the color of what I am feeling or experiencing at the moment.  This gives my music it's relevant interpretation.  For example, when I am sick, angry, left hanging, feeling pure love, feeling the loss of the love I thought would last forever.  Feeling the joy and excitement of a new love, the feeling of gratitude for being given another day to experience improved emotions that only living can bring.  This is what music sounds like to me. 

​

My musical influences stem from the church and expands into R&B, Jazz and the Blues.  Mahalia Jackson, Marvin Gay, James Brown, New Birth, George Clinton, The Jackson 5, Bobbye Bland, Fred Hammond, Stevie Wonder and others shaped my musical heart.  I consider myself a musical nut, but very thoughtful with a live-funk groove....yea; that's me.....

​

I play keyboard, trumpet, bass guitar and I love, love to sing. I grew up in a local band called the Rappers.  Every summer we traveled the East Coast playing night clubs.  We opened for KC & The Sunshine Band and lost a competition on the stage of the Apollo Theatre.  I cut my teeth on gospel; I studied at Miami-Dade Jr. College, i.e., Gospel Choir and Jazz Band, this is where I learned to write and read serious music.  I also played bass and trumpet in Middle, Jr. and Sr. High School.  I played in the concert & marching band.

​

Oh yes, I've been playing music feels like my whole life.  I am currently an ordained retired Pastor after 40 years in ministry.  I have written love songs, songs of prayer and I find myself in the studio recording tunes that are meaningful to me.
