Born and raised in Los Angeles (Compton), California. Started playing music around twelve as a backup rhythm guitar player for my brother. I'm mostly self-taught and just play what I feel or according to my moods.. therefore, I don't just fit into one genre or category. I play guitar, bass, and keyboards. I recently produced and wrote two songs on Melanie's Andrews album, SOULMATE, which is being released in early 2022.  She co-wrote the mega-hit "Let's Wait Awhile" on the Control album by Janet Jackson. My Influences range from Prince, Hendrix, Funkadelic, EW&F, Cameo, and Stevie Wonder. Hip Hop influences range from Dre to Quik, Tribe, PE, and of course 2pac. Shout out to K dot.

When asked why he chose to start writing his own music......Felix says,"The percussionist is always the first to go......when a band needs to cut costs. I just got tired of being cut ......So,I was pushed,more or less,into the direction of writing music. It’s funny,when you hear most recordings almost every song has some form of percussion in it,but,see a band live and you won’t see a percussionist (only the drummer gets some,dig?)...Big,Big Ups to “The Almighty” because with the creation of music workstations,sequencers and digital recorders,I can write all the grooves I hear in my head!!"....Now the world can experience the Joy that Felix brings in his music with the release of his first self-produced CD titled,“Rebirth”,13 songs(over 75min.) of love.Felix says, “It’s not so much about me.......you see.....It’s all about the music!!!!”(Enjoy!) *** Be on the LOOK-OUT for his 2nd CD titled ,"Can We Dance?" Coming in 2012!!! ***NuUrbanJazz with a Dash of Funk!!! Grooves that make your body move!!!
