From Baltimore...to Atlanta....to Colorado...to LA. The guitar has taken me all over this country. Over the years I've been lucky enough to be featured in Rolling Stone Magazine, URB Magazine, and received an American Music Award Nomination for work with my band Yo Flaco! I've been fortunate enough to record with world renown trumpeter Ron Miles as well as been produced by Thom Russo (Audioslave, System of a Down, Michael Jackson...etc) and Alan Evans (from the group Soulive).
Over the years, I've shared the stage/bills with George Clinton and P-Funk, Spearhead, Tower of Power, Groove Collective, Soulive, Galactic, Slick Rick, KRS-One, Medeski Martin Wood, Soulive, RJD2, Blackalicious, and others....
Always looking to colab.....and always looking for inspiration.....always in search of the deepest funk and the nastiest beats.....
