InfluencesMy InfluencesMost often people ask me... who are your influences? Well, the list is infinite. Here's a few of the legends who have walked across my musical soul.
BiographyBiographyOddly enough, as a youngster my first music teacher was Roberta Flack (of "Killing Me Softly" fame) who taught me when I was in the D.C. public school system. Years later I enrolled in college to study Music Education at Howard University (Wash. D.C) where I had the pleasure of meeting Dizzy Gillespie who lectured and performed at a jazz seminar for a semester. That in itself was priceless, a motivating experience I'll never forget.
Throughout college I would simultaneously perform with my band, doing one-nighters up and down the east coast. Later I would head west to California to finish my education at San Jose State University where I studied classical and jazz guitar while performing throughout the San Jose area in various nightclubs. Distracted by life, I choose to put music on the back burner for awhile. But with any "true" musician, that “backburner” is never far away. Fortunately a new genre of music would draw me back onto the scene, “Smooth Jazz”. Which brings us to my debut CD, “Eclectic Fusion”. This project has allowed me to come full circle, whereas Smooth Jazz allows me to explore all of my musical roots: Jazz, R&B, Funk, Latin, Rock and Fusion, while blending it with a contemporary, upbeat, Smooth Jazz sound. I like to think of it as blending the “old school” with the "new school". I like to think of it as… “Eclectic Fusion”. Enjoy!
