First and For most I would like to thank my fans for viewing my page and listening to my music. With out you I go no where in this business. I started playing piano when I was around 5 years old. My father his whole life has been playing the piano along with pretty much my entire family. My aunt was the one that had originally taught me. My father's success in music has motivated me to continue to learn and put out good music. He was able to play at the Vatican in Rome with his choir from church twice. I come from a very musical family.
The music that you hear is written and produced solely by me unless specified produced by someone else. I write music for self-motivation as well as inspiring other people to grow in life. With music you can take your emotions out in the song! When you listen to my music, it's a variety of different kinds. From instrumentals, beats, singing, to rap. When you navigate around the page you can pull up individually every song by clicking on the tab located next to the song, or download them by clicking on the arrow. Some of the songs have tabs that say lyrics. If you click on that tab the words to the song will come up.
When it comes to playing music, no one can take the feeling that you have when your playing, singing, or whatever it is that you enjoy doing. Every song that I put out, is fine detailed to me playing the drums, guitar, and the piano along with all other instruments.
In life you decide your destiny and your survival. Music puts everyone in a whole different reality I believe. Its how you listen to it, its when you listen to it, its where you listen to it, is what will change your whole outlook on music. When I record my music, I record at a very high volume so I can feel the music. I encourage you to turn it up as loud as you want. Get yourself a pair of headphones, plug them in and sit back and relax. A couple of Relaxing songs "Good Night" and "Come get some."

Why this name?
I just figured using my name is the best way to let people know who I am. I am going to be me no matter what I do. Know one is going to change me. I can only change myself.
Do you play live?
As far as playing live. Anytime that I would go to a club or entertainment spot and they would have a band, I would always find someway to play with them during their show. I would love to play in front of millions of people across the nation. My focus is to let everyone hear my music. I have much more that I need to finish and put out there. It takes hard work, hours, and determination to create good music that people are going to want to listen to. You have to fine detail them, you just can't put out anything that is not finished without quality mixing. When you play the songs through your speakers, you want to hear it crystal clear. I would have to say my special moment was back in 2002 when I had went on a Carnival Cruise for 7 days to the Caribbean. Everyday, I would get on stage in front of 2000 people on the ship and play the Keyboard and Rap with the original band that was on the ship for 7 days. They were a Jamaican band, we sounded actually pretty good! I would definitely do that again.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Well with all the downloads, its cost artists the true potential to sell Cd's. However if you are good, people will still buy them. The internet is a vehicle for millions of people to hear your music. As well can be very productive for marketing yourself and music. I'm a fan of the internet, just not so much the downloads. If you like the artist you will purchase their CD, so you can have the cover and support the grown artist!
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
That is the reason for me putting my music out here. In a heartbeat I would sign with someone. When that opportunity comes. Until then, I will continue growth by myself to continue to make money and get my music out there. Also a lot of musicians make money now by doing shows. Guest appearances. That's what I enjoy to do. Play for people having dinner. Or in front of a crowd on stage.
Band History:
I have been playing music since I was 5 years old. I learned how to play from my aunt and listening to my father. I play a lot of my music by ear. All my music is written and produced by me unless specified. All the beats, guitar, effects, piano, words,...etc...All from my heart.
Your influences?
I would have to say that my Father is a big part of my music career. The knowledge that he knows as far as playing the piano. Probably the best pianist in the Midwest. My uncle Dave who plays jazz. My aunt Paula who plays bass and flute. My cousin Paul, who is a musician as well. I would have to say working with "Chopper Young City" from making the band 2, Chopper has motivated me to continue growth in music. He was able to teach me a lot about the music industry. I appreciate what he has done for me. Much success to his up and coming albums.
Favorite spot?
I would have to say Florida or Arizona. Where ever its warm. I'm a big fan of MI the state. Kinda a place that launched my music career. Also WI, where I was born and grew up for 18 years.

Have you ever felt in like you have helped everyone else around you but yourself? Do you feel that you have been taken advantage of because of who you are? That's what this song is and Im sure you can relate.
My brother slammed this beat!
