American composer, Henry Cowell, famously wrote, "I want to live in the whole world of music!" I feel the same way. I don't like being tied down to one particular style or school of thought. I want to combine all the different things I love about all kinds of music into something unique, beautiful, and personal. I hope to touch hearts, minds, and souls as deeply and fully as possible, whether it's with something that grooves, something that flows, or something that challenges.

I grew up in Detroit, hearing spirituals sung around the house as a kid. I began piano lessons at seven & started gigging in high school. I started playing jazz while in college. Lived in Santa Fe for 8 years where I had a great time artistically. Moved to Nashville on a tip. My very first gig there was at the Bluebird Cafe, one of the premier showcase rooms in town. Not a bad start! But, I needed some stability, so I joined the Army as a musician. I spent 4 years teaching at the Armed Forces School of Music in Norfolk, VA. Then I landed a fantastic gig with the Army Field Band in Washington, DC, where I've been for the last 17 years. I tour about 100 days a year, all over the US & abroad. Highlights include having over 100k downloads of my music at download.com & collaborating with amazing artists like Janice Slater, Jack Clift, and Wil Greenstreet.
