Where are you from?

I was born and raised in Lousiville Ky and now have been living in California for many years.

How long have you been making music?

I have been making music since 1992 at a very young age writing songs.

How many songs /albums have you released to date?

I have released about 13 world-wide albums and muliple singles I written.

Can you tell us about your latest release and the background and inspirations behind it?

Yes. My latest release is call “Missing You” released January 4th 2019. This is a special song because I wrote it about my mom who past away from Colon cancer on July 20th 2018. It was very hard to sing this song becauses it still hurts even now thinking about it. My mom was my close friend. She was also one of my biggest fans. She inspired me to start singing, and use to invite her friends over to our house for them to hear me sing. Everywhere we went, to the mall, grocery store, church, she would stop the people and ask me to sing for them. I miss her so much. That is what this song “Missing You” is about. I hope each person who has lost someone they love, listen to this song and think of the good memories they had with person.

How have you ended up in the music industry?

I started in the music industry in 1992 with a idea in mind that I wanted to be a perfessional singer and songwriter. So I found a studio in the bay area and began recording songs I wrote and sharing it with family and friends. Soon after, I began shopping for a record deal with my demos and continue to network with people in the music industry, while writing more songs until 1998 when I landed a record recording contract with Ichiban Records and in 1999 Stax/Volt Records.

What do you think of the music industry in 2018?

The music industry in 2018 has changed since I started out early on. The good thing about the change is social media gives up and coming artist a chance to be heard. It is still hard work after you release your songs but with the right team and passion behind what you do, it can happen.

Who do you think the most influential artist?

The most influential artist I would say is Mariah Carey. She has been in the music industry since the day of her release “Vision of Love” and still continues to make great music. I’ve loved her music and voice since the begaining of time. She’s a legend and has staying power because of the passion for music.

Renolds The Dramactics, The Stylistic, The Might Dells. I recorded on all of these artist albums and duets with some of them.

How do you think you differ from other artists?

I am different from most artist, because my style of songs are different. I write all of my own songs and vocal arrangements. My music is urban gospel but it has a hint of R&B sound to it. I have also recorded in my early career R&B songs, many in which I have released world-wide.
