I am a singer, songwriter. I've been writing seriously since RUN-DMC was where my writing started in rap music. I've sung lead and wrote lyrics for a funk band I formed with my now old bass player. We played all around New York. CBGS, The LION'S DEN, and the AKAs when it was around. After 3 years I pursued a songwriting project that allowed me to focus on the importance of song structure and melody. JUST WRITE A GOOD SONG. Said by Clive Davis. I came to Christ in 97 and all I write is for and with the Lord. I've sung in choirs and for Praise & Worship teams. With the choir we ministered on Rickers Island. That was an experience. I can tell you about that later.
I've been playing drums for close to 3 years and have been playing guitar for close to 9 months and have over 60 songs that I'm going back over and completing with music.
