I actually started out as a drummer/vocalist. I eventually developed my musical talents to include guitar and keyboards.

Yes, I've been a live performing artist for MANY years. I also still continue to perform "live concerts and shows" with my band known as "FOREVER CALLED". I've performed in the "club scene and also top notch venues and festivals". I've also been blessed to previously serve as a licensed and ordained minister and "Music Minister" within various Christian denominational and nondenominational Churches.

Quincy Jones, Michael Jackson, Prince, George Benson, Kool and The Gang, Luther Vandross, Tom Petty, Patti Labelle, Israel and New Breed, Maze, Lionel Richie, Alvin Slaughter, Marvin Gaye, Marvin Sapp, Fred Hammond, Hill Songs, Earth Wind & Fire, Neil Diamond, Chicago and others

Depends on what I'm doing but normally I rely on instruments, equipment, hardware, software and musical associated programs developed/manufactured by companies such as: Fender, Line 6, Yamaha, Korg, Mackie, Cubase/Studio One, Digital Performer, Mixbus, and from time to time various others.
