About Me:
Im HUNGRY..................for anything (except drugs lol) that will increase the spiritual gift of music within me. Im tryna get back to God's original intent for music in every genre of music that HE calls me to. My background is gospel, R&B, and Hip Hop....which means im still riding with training wheels when it comes to the REAL SOUND & FEEL of JAZZ. But i realize that God has placed me in the best city to learn how to ride with the BIg Boys (and Girls......there are alot of female Jazz BEAST to come out of da BURGH). i love going out to the various thriving clubs who support jazz and LISTENING to the shaping and tone of what Pittsburgh Jazz has become. But make no mistake, just because im still learning to produce the authentic sound of jazz doesn't mean I don't know what it sounds like, so all you POSERS out there keep bitin your nails and kickin rocks when real musical magicians who carry the true SPIRIT are in the building!!!

I can't wait to meet all of you music lovers in the Burgh that I haven't met yet. Keep making a joyful jazz noise!

I digress from callin out any names of artist/groups tours or recordings that I've played for due to my immense love for the one who ALONE really deserves ALL of the shout-out credit seeing as HE CREATED THIS PRECIOUS GIFT of mine & each opportunity that followed it.......I LOVE YOU, GOD........with my whole heart!

    Hi Dennis,

    It was really great jammin' with you last night.

    You really did a great job as the M.C. and led the trio real well.

    Also, the arrangements and tempos of each tune were pretty neat too.

    It's nice that us WVU alumni can continue to take jazz to another level.

    Also, if you may ever need me for any gigs just call.

    Lookin' forward to jammin' with you again at Calli's.

    Musically,
