I started playing bass guitar at the age of 9. I learned to play by ear with the guidance of my father and uncle. My father use to sit down with me, an old 80's boom box, and my grandmother's univox 4 string bass guitar. We'd put in a cassette of one of his favorite Gospel Quartet groups and press play. Once we heard the bass play its first note we'd stop the recording and find that note on grandma's univox. Once we found that note we'd resume the cassette until our ears came across the next note on bass. This process would go on for hours, sometimes days, until the entire song could be played from beginning to end. The reward in it all was the feeling of accomplishment when able to jam along with the artist on the cassette, playing pro bass lines. In my teens I began to want more out of music, I wanted to be able to do more, to be able to create more. This is when I looked towards private bass lessons to move forward in my musical journey. I came across a bass teacher by the name of Bryan Kuban who helped introduce me to the world of music theory. Not only did he open up my mind to the world of music theory he introduced me to the world of digital recording and music production. Later on I continued my education in music by attaining a Master Certificate in Theory, Harmony, & Ear Training. Currently enrolled in Berklee College of Music I look to receive my Bachelor of Professional Studies in Music Production. 
 During my musical journey I've played in many different bands playing styles ranging from R&B, Rock, Pop, Gospel, Funk, Country, & Jazz. Being able to experience the different styles of music has helped me to develop a more sensitive ear to musical genres and what authenticates them. Music has also been an awarding experience in the opportunities presented such as opening for Al Green, Bilal, Canton Jones, Vicki Winans, and GB5. I've also had the pleasure of playing for Tarsha & Anthony Hamilton, & Felony Davis. Off stage I have enjoyed producing music with Eric "ET" Mobley, Sassy & The Sneak Attack, Devern Tarriq, & look forward to working with many others who share a passion for music.
