Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I play live in any venue throughout the tri-state New York area. I've done venues randomly in the street, just to draw people to Christ. I've ministered in every boro of NY and hoping to reach farther places. I have travelled to Canada, Bermuda & Tennesse.

I like a vibrant, live, unique musical style that connects with people and the artist. I love Fred Hammond, Kirk Franklin and Donnie McClurkin.

I used a cordless Mic, the loudest speakers..anything else is perfect!!!
