SEEKING

ABOUT

Born and raised in Detroit. Mich. The home of Motown, I sang my first note when I was pulled from my mother's womb, I was spanked and hit the C note. That's when my career began. I started playing clarinet in first grade and continued until the 6th grade, that's when I discovered the saxophone and all the other instruments I eagerly wanted to play. I mastered at least 5 instruments; Sax, Keyboards, Drums, Bass & Rhythm guitar & Harmonica.
I have toured across Canada with the Boby Curtola Show, opening up and doing my own show opening up for Donny & Marie Osmond, Ben E. King at Lulu's in Kitchener Ont. And other big events throughout Canada including the Apple Blossom in New Brunswick, It's Your Life etc. I have played in Toronto's R.B clubs such as the famous Blue Note and the Network. I took first place at Showtime at the Apollo in Harlem New York and I have a plaque on the wall for Top Dog of the year for 1992. I was one of the nine finalists for Fox’s 50th anniversary Star Search competition which was hosted by Ed McMan and Smokey Robinson at the Fox Theater, chosen from 4 thousand finalists across Mich.
I’ve toured Japan for 3 months and I am currently just moved to Vegas 2 months ago and performing for the legendary Berry Gordy's daughter Sherry Gordy presents here in Vegas on thursday nights. I am looking to start my own unit for further gigs here in Vegas. I do have agencies waiting for promo!!
