Born and raised in the city of Detroit, as a native Detroiter, I have had the opportunity to study with the best Detroit has to offer, from Teddy Harris to Sam Sanders.

I released my first CD, In Spirit In Truth, in 2003. The track, Moonlight was in regular rotation on WGPR. I have played in local venues, such as Baker’s Keyboard Lounge, Charles Wright Museum and Detroit Historical Museum, as well as private sponsored events.

I am currently in the process of releasing my sophomore project with already released single Brighter Days featuring Terry Tuck., which can be heard on internet radio stations such as The Oasis, The Moth UK, The Cool Jazz Network, Sassy Radio, Jazz Juice Radio, and the Indie Music Network .

My music is a reflection of my environment, growing up in the city of Detroit. A soulful Jazz, seasoned with funk.

I am an independent artist still residing in the city of Detroit.
