Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Well, I was never really into music when I was younger...I guess I was too afraid to do it....I always sang, but that is not what my father wanted. He was more less the follow in my footsteps type of person. He played basketball, and that's what he wanted me to do. Needless to say, I sang in my young adult choir, and did some humming here and there, but I didn't do anything about it until I moved to Charlotte. That is where it really all began for me....that's where I first started to belive in my dream. I thank God for giving me this talent.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I perform live all the time. I've be featured in the BET PANTENE Tour which went up and down the whole east coast and over as far as Houston. I opened up for artist like MC Lyte, Yolanda Adams, and Nikki Giovanni. I also performed on the EBONY MAGAZINE Black Family Reunion Tour where I opened up for Sugar Hill Gang, Big Daddy Cane, Whodini, and others.
One special moment that stands out for me goes a little like this.....The evening began with a pair of special guests (DL Scott & Walt Smooth) who got the crowd of 4000 in a dancing mood before the house lights dimmed and the crowd was on its feet waiting for the man of the evening. With a new-found energy and electrifying on-stage presence, headliner Frankie Beverly brought his unique brand of funk to Daniel Island as Family Circle Magazine Stadium came alive with the R&B sounds of the MOJA Festival finale. I remember being excited when I performed at this event because of that energy. I remember the feeling I had when the crowd chantted me to give them more and I happily delivered.
