My Early Years

My Youth:

  • Sang in All-City Chorus (Newport News, VA) for two years, while in middle school.
  • Performed Solos and Duets with Teachers during many school functions.
  • Played my first song" Amazing Grace" after hearing my Mother practicing at the age of 14.
  • Took Piano lessons for three years - learning to read music and developing my ability to play by ear.

Faith Baptist Church- Downtown Newport News, VA

  • Played piano as an accompaniment at Faith Baptist Church for 2 years.
  • Became the president, choir director, and soloist for the youth choir at Faith Baptist Church.
  • Moved on to become the accompanying Organ player for Sixth Mount Zion Baptist Church until Graduating from High-school.

After HighSchool

Military:

While in Germany for 4 years I tested my hands at many different areas in music while attending C.O.G.I.C. Church services in Wurzburg. While there I:

  • Filled in very weakly on Drums when we were without a drummer.
  • Played piano as an accompaniment.
  • Became the Men's Choir Director.

After Military Life

Not letting go: 

  • Joined a local church where I on occasion substituted for our pastor on keyboards who was an amazing and accomplished musician.
  • I continued singing in there at every opportunity and was a choir member.
  • Started teaching myself guitar and played there for three years until moving to Northern VA for work.

Starting the Journey:Playing Hands

  • In 2013 with much encouragement from my dear cousin Rudeboy of LyteboxPhotography, I began to build my home studio and work on my songwriting skills.

2019 - continuing Growth:

  • Learning from past mistakes
  • Continuing to invest in the gift God gave me
  • Shifted - I know only create, sing and worship for God.

Looking to the future:

  • I have been developing my gift for sharing information in the video.
  • I do plan to create more musical content but I have been in a period of developing my relationship with Yahweh!
  • He is now and always will be the reason for my worship and praise, I do so for him and I hope I inspire you to do the same!
