Musician/Songwriter hailing from the city of wind.

Biography

My Life


Exemplify Music…..

Hailing, from the city of wind, born into a world of vigor and harmonious beauty, Music was more a way of life than breathing itself. Street performers danced and sang to their heart’s content. Well-lit billboards dazzled enormous skyscrapers. The city of Chicago glittered as if it were gold.

Born a Taurean, in a lower-middle class neighborhood, music was an outlet since the days of holding a microphone in my small palms from the churches choir stand. As frowned faces glared at me from the congregations pew, I quickly realized singing wasn’t my niche, but my musical talent would rest in the soulful inflection of a trumpet.

Trumpet…“Yeah, That’s it” only three valves and I get to get out of class early if I decided to take private classes. Low and behold, it became the Love of my life. The passion of instrumentation quickly manifested itself into a love to write and compose.

My accomplishment include playing for political leaders such as the Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr. As, well as having my works performed in public venues throughout Chicago’s diverse music scene and being praised in the Chicago Sun-Times Daily paper. I have also, had the privilege to perform with mainstream, instrumental, recording artists.

My works have progressed throughout the years to become an outcry of my inner-most desires, loves, and hates. I later acquired knowledge of Business as it relates to music by majoring in Music/Business at Johnson C. Smith University. Being a part of that atmosphere has been one of my greatest musical influences.

Ultimately, music has touched me in ways that are immeasurable. The integrity of music has opened my eyes to a more spiritual existence. When it’s all said and done I want my music to influence a nation and cross lines that mere words could not.
