I have been playing drums and various percussion instruments for over 30 years. As a young musician growing up in Philadelphia, it wasn’t easy trying to make a stake in the Philly music scene. But hard work and perseverance paid off with me winning several drumming competition throughout the city. One of the highlights of my travels was meeting Billy Cobham at SIR studios in Hollywood Ca. while rehearsing for a live tour. As a kid growing up I loved listening to Stanley Clarke, Jon Luc Ponty, Funkadelic, Mandrill, John McLaughlin, Carl Palmer and of course Billy Cobham just to name a few.
At age 19, I started my professional career, recording and touring live with THE VILLAGE PEOPLE, an am a proud owner of Gold and Platinum albums presented to me by Cant Stop Productions. Later after the fall of the Disco era, I landed a few gigs with Philadelphia’s own, BLUE MAGIC, MAJOR HARRIS, CHUBBY CHECKER, INSTANT FUNK, BRANDY, THE RICHIE FAMILY and a host of other professional and local groups all along the eastern seaboard.
A Philly born groove master now living on Cape Cod. I have also toured all over The United States, Australia, Brazil, Canada and Japan. Appearing on The Midnight Special, Don Kirsners Rock Concert, The Academy Of Music, Philadelphia; Madison Square Garden, New York; The Salt Palace, Las Vegas; and The Boston Garden. I am a very Soulful, Funky, and energetic well-seasoned Jazz Fusion Drummer.
