I actually started out as a drummer/vocalist. I eventually developed my musical talents to include guitar and keyboards.Have you performed in front of an audience?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.
