About

I'm an African native and Entrepreneur of Cameroon heritage. Recently publicized by some company outlets such as shop.com for my remarkable ability to utter a genuine African accent into business,thus painting pictures of the Cameroon American youth lifestyle and experiences. I began enjoying music in my teens,I've been involved with music in some form or another since elementary school.I really do love music and art! I enjoy music very much! Mainly rock,hip hops jazz...all types
actually. I picked up guitar recently, moved on to bass and then acoustic and rhythm (which I've fallen in love with!). I started out by taking music as a course in college where I studied and understood music theory, but mostly played by ear then I move to taking lessons to learn classical guitar.I now play solid mix of both original material and cover tunes to fit any situation and please any audience. I take pride in myself on the fact that I have the ability to present one of the most diverse rock and roll. I try to play everything from large arenas. I enjoy the chemistry of playing with others and making something old to new. In my spare time,I enjoys teaching guitar lessons and sharing my knowledge of music with the rest of the world. I am looking to performing in events. Find me on:

Influences

I was influenced by Dennis Franks , an accomplished lead guitarist, now with over 25 year’s experience,Dennis Franks is enjoying the electricity of entertaining with The Honey James Band where each and every member of the band has unique talents that helps make night of entertainment or special event a success.Dennis’ sound is heavily influenced by Tom Petty, Mick Jagger, and John Melencamp and his singing flare integrates the trio well. He enjoys the empowerment that the guitar and classic rock bring him. He has an expressive sound that captures the live music market.Dennis plays Gibson Custom Shop Guitars.Dennis Franks was an All-Big Ten and All American Center at the University of Michigan. He then went on to play six years in the NFL with the Philadelphia Eagles and Detroit Lions. His character was featured in
the movie “Invincible”, staring Mark Wahlberg as NFL star Vince Papale.
