Band to Join, Vocalist, Vocalist - Bass, Vocalist - Tenor, Vocalist - Soprano, Other, Vocalist - Alto.ABOUT
Been sharing my talent as a vocalist for almost 30 years. While in Europe I toured with a R&B/Jazz band for seven years. I have opened for various known artist(s) such as Chaka Khan and Gil Scott. I write my own music as well and my songs are sultry. A blend between R&B and Jazz. I provide renditions of old smooth songs and new songs as well. I've been told my songs provide a search of the heart, a connection of love, or music that makes you think about the one you love. I am commitment to my music career, and give 110% of myself while performing. I am available for venues, openings, private parties, and community events.

Influences
My earliest influence with the love of music was vinyl. That circular disc that I could place a needle on it and out would come sounds from Roberta Flack or Donny Hathaway. I loved it, and I played the skin off of a vinyl. I've met a lot of people and have been able to draw knowledge to skills to perfecting my style of voice. I had a beautiful moment when Bobby Caldwell heard my rendition of "What You Don't Do For Love" and expressed it was the best version he had heard. That was a good moment. And to include amongst my influences would be the people I perform for. My audience reactions to my performances provides me with a sense of being able to share GOD's given talent with others.
