ABOUT THE ARTIST

I love the arts, which includes drawing, photography, poetry. And of course I have enjoyed the art of making and performing music, which I have dabbled in for many years now. In my teens I enjoyed rapping and in the early 2000's I began recording with different producers. But the last 3 years I've been creating my own music, and each year that passes, I find myself enjoying the music making process ever more. As many already know, I love many genres of music, and I try to incorporate them throughout my albums. And whether it be Pop, Jazz, Hip Hop, Dance, Rock or Latin, they all have an R&B/ Soul origin. This being my 4th album, I've tried to modernize the sound and style and still have that early 90's flavor.

Another reason why I enjoy many genres of music is because my father was a singer in a Doo-Wop group. He also had a deep vinyl collection that included Earth Wind & Fire, Herb Albert, The Commodores, Chicago, Barry White, Stevie Wonder, Kansas, Boney James, The Temptations and The Doobie Brothers just to name a few. Again, music from the 90's most definitely had it's influence on me which included  New Jack Swing, Hip-hop & synthesized Pop.  
I've has created about 200 tracks over a period of 25 years, 90 of which can be heard on this site. And now after 10 years I am ready to release my 2nd LP called "REFLECTION" available February 13 2024. My 1st single called "Century Love" will be available to stream & download on January 26, 2024
