Summary
Growing up in a musical family , and being the youngest I spent a lot of time watching and learning from the local legends that I had the opportunity to be around. At 12 years of age I was playing in some of the toughest honkey tonk / Blues venues around South east Texas. 17 years of age I started producing hip-hop music as well as playing live music with blues and funk bands. Being a piano ( keyboardist ) I was able to grow and manipulate sounds using keyboard programming
With almost 30 years of working in music multi-genres and production including sound engineering live and studio applications I feel my innovative approach is keen to turning the corner to a new dynamic sound
