About Me:: MY BROTHER, KENNY MCGEE FIRST TAUGHT ME HOW TO PLAY GUITAR AT TWEVLE YEARS OLD.
SEVEN MONTHS LATER, WILLIAM HERDON, OF GEORGE BENSON AND THE ALTAIRS DISCOVERED ME PLAYING A GUITAR WITH TWO MISSING/BROKEN STRINGS ON MY FRONT PORCH. HE GAVE ME MY FIRST PROFESSIONAL JOB AS GEORGE BENSON'S REPLACEMENT.
FIVE YEARS LATER BOBBY WATLEY LET ME PLAY SOMEONE ELSES GUITAR WHILE HE WAS SETTING UP HIS DRUMS AT AN IMPRESSIONS UNFORGETABLE
CONCERT. HE GAVE ME MY FIRST JOB PLAYING ON THE ROAD WITH HIM AND WINSTON WALLS(ORGANIST).
FOUR YEARS LATER I SET IN ON MELVIN SPARKS WITH LONNIE SMITH AT THE HURRICANE BAR ON CENTER AVENUE.
LONNIE GAVE ME MY FIRST JOB RECORDING FOR A MAJOR JAZZ RECORD LABEL(BLUE NOTE RECORDS).
AFTER SEVERAL YEARS ON THE THE ROAD I RETURNED HOME TO FORM MY OWN LOCAL GROUPS. AFTER OBTAINING A ASSOCIATE'S DEGREE IN BUSINESS MANAGEMENT, I RELOCATED TO LOS ANGELES, CA. TO FORM A SONGWRITING-PUBLISHING/PRODUCTION PARTNERSHIP WITH JOSEPH CACCAMISE JR.
