Because it's my name...

I've been a musician for about 13 years now (trumpet playing). I've performed every where from store-front churches to Carnegie Hall. I like performing but I think my passion is making the music...

It can make you or break you. You really never know who is on the internet. Placing your music on the internet is a gamble. Some one like Ryan Leslie could hear and want to work with you, or someone else could hear your stuff and jock YOUR style and they would in-turn get the attention. It's a beast lol...

Yes. After I read the FINE FINE FINE FINE print lol....When I got my first cell phone, I didn't expect all the charges and taxes and stuff. So I asked my pops where in the world is that stated in the contract I signed. He said, "Did you read the whole thing?" I said "Of course I did." Then he pointed at the edges of the paper and said "Did you read here? That's where the good stuff is..." Even though he was being funny, that really stuck with me...

I fell in love with music at a very young age. Since I was around my Granny a lot, I grew up on artists like The Dramatics, The Temptaions, L.J Reynolds, Johnny Guitar Watson, The Spinners, Teena Marie, and Barry White just to name a few. This is why some of my music has these artists' feel to it. I always liked what was current on the radio but I was really stuck on that "Old-School" flair. I never could get away from Old-School music. A lot of the time though, that really got on my friends nerves because they weren't "there" musically. So in retrospect, I believe my career started in my Granny's kitchen and I asked her (when I was about 2 years old), "Granny could you play that 'beg 'n peed fo yo syn fa fee' song?" LOL I was talking about Ain't too Proud to Beg by The Temptations.

Ryan Leslie. That man is a beast. Then there is Rich Harrison. His whole approach is crazy. He uses so many acoustcial aspects of music and throws them into the digital age. Some times, I don't think the public is ready for his mind lol. Besides that, all the great Old School artist like the ones I mentioned.

I was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan. That will always be my home, no matter what the city is going through up there. Now I reside in Miami and I don't think I would want to live any where else.

Mac all they way. Reason, Fruity Loops, Pro-Tools, Phantom Keyboard, and Monette trumpet equip.

I'm really looking to change the way we Americans percieve music. It's time for a new era. I'm here to usher it in...
