ABOUT

Grew up in Philadelphia, studied with the best teachers in Philly. Played mostly in the Funk / R & B genra as a young musician and have built on that in all my musical endevours. As a schooled musician I can read & write charts and arrangements. I have a very good ear and have a strong sense of what is being played by those around me (BIG EARS). I am a fast learner and can always find a part no mater what the situation is. I am experienced in Rock, Funk, Country, Jazz, Jazz Fusion and all Latin formats. I am very computer savy with a background in recording & producing. Available for gigs, shows & studio work.
