About Me
Music has been my life from birth. My mother, my aunt, and my uncle were musicians. I grew up listening to everything from Mozart to Benny Goodman to Ray Charles to Lawrence Welk to Johnny Cash to Simon and Garfunkel to on and on and on...I am an artist in all aspects except appearance. I am a keyboard player, a writer, a photographer, an inventor, and now a new producer. I have been from the Bering Sea to the Taj Mahal and places in-between. I can connect with anyone from any culture. I am at ease anywhere.

My Influences / Fav Artists
