I've been a Musician since my early teenage years. I started out wanting to be a guitar player and that was the first instrument that I owned.
I switched to the bass after some friends and I wanted to put a band together and there was no one to play bass.
My father was a well known musician in the area and had a band called the "Dukes of Rhythm" and the bass player had an old bass he wasn't using and gave it to me.
So, that was the start of my musical career.

Why this name?
I just used my own name. Hey, keep it simple.
Do you play live?
I stopped playing live about five years ago. I have yet to play live as a keyboard player (still trying to get my chops together).
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
I would think that the Internet is opening doors and providing opportunities for many artist.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
25 or 30 years ago I would have said yes. But now I'm an old man with a family. It would have to be a sweet deal.
Your influences?
The people and or groups that have left a lasting impression on me are Flora Purim, Michael Franks, Joe Sample and Chick Corea.
Favorite spot?
Wherever I am at the time
