My violin versatility abides in a deep faith in my God-granted talents and the success that soulful authenticity, dedication to honoring the song, playful attitude, propensities for taking on new ideas in my heart and daily life. My sometimes virtuosic violin playing is highlighted by the great players whose talents are in this genre-crossing performance catalogue which features some of my more wildly explorative unique compositions, improvisation and collaborations with many different projects involving a host of talented musicians, solo and studio Stevie Wonder-inspired songs highlighted in the many hours of these recordings and oftentimes playful explorations. These moments of clarity and creation, ultimately, transfigured into the myriad explorations of sonic and visionary ideas, happenings and expressions you which you are free to discover through the direct experiences contained throughout many of these recordings with a wide array of different styles, artists and collaborations. The music is here for us all to freely explore and I sincerely hope you enjoy listening to them. I have for many years now, and continue to discover hidden gems.

  "Music is the universal language of love. 
I am deeply grateful for the inspiration, blessings and experience from our Heavenly Father that continually inspire and motivate my creativity, motivation to do so, and sustain the spirit of gratitude and happiness, which I feel is our birthright.
