His sound is a fined tuned melting pot of styles. Formal training on guitar began at age nine and continued by playing south Louisiana in R&B, Top 40, Fusion and Blues Bands, such as Midnight Shift, Keeper and the 50's show band The Crescents. All of this comes out in his emotional vocal style and songwriting.
