I have been involved with music my whole life!!
Starting in elementary school,being in choir and various vocal groups.
I was exposed to music at an early age by my mom,who listened to Jazz,R&B, and Classical.
Sneaking into Jazz clubs in the late seventies to view live performances by greats such as Charles Mingus,Stanley Clarke,and many others!!
My cousin introduced me to rock music in the 60's.
Listening to Hendrix,Led Zeppelin,The Beatles,Cream,and other artists,hence forming my eclectic and varied musical tastes!!
I have been a music photographer for the last 10 years,
shooting hundreds of live performances.
My work has been published in Billboard,The Washington Post,Guitar,Hit Parader,Metal Edge,Metal Maniacs,
Thrasher,Pit,Terrorizer, Revolver,and many other outlets.
I think that young independent talented musicians should be cherished,cultivated and supported!!
They are the future of the music industry!!!
