I began playing professionally while still in college. Later at Huston-Tillotson college I continued studying both music and the business of music. There I started listening to different kinds of music beyond just classical, picked up my first brand "stinking" new $30 pro tools software, and began writing my first songs. After college I spent two and a half years jacking off time and chasing my dream without any success. Then I listened to the different melodies and rhythms on national radio and began writing more of my own music. Many evenings, I visited close friends who owned very old piano keyboards. I would always play my tunes on them for entertainment in some cases, but I did that just so that they would be kind-hearted enough to offer some food to eat, because I was hungry. Within 2 weeks of demo submission to record labels, publishers, and artists I received a recording contract from 3 different record companies. After a successful contact with a famous and very accomplished professional songwriter, I was given inside information to a recruiting event in Chicago, Illinois where music conglomerates, managers, and producers were signing certain artists. I was fortunate enough to come upon a music and film synconization deal with Pretty Boy Pictures, Inc. I am now a self accomplishing professional songwriter, hip-hop composer, and arranger.
