I have been in the music industry most of my life. I was a studio singer while I was in elementary school. In my junior high days I studied at The Mitchell Singing Private school in Hollywood where I learned to read music and music basic music theory. At this time I was gigging doing weddings, church events of diverse religions, concerts, etc. I have sang for American Music Awards backing up Jessica Simpson, Grammys Backing John Legend and Beyonce among other events.
Most of my musical upbringing came from church. I still sing and play in a church to this day. I still do studio leads, backgrounds and i have my own studio gear...
