How I made my profile: I used Dave & Jay's amazing myspace profile editor.
Performing contemporary to classical music, my career has spanned from North America to Asia. Talents include composing lyrics, vocal arrangements and voice overs for commercial jingles such as Nescafe, Acuve, Sony Vaio, Nestea, Tropicana, Kirin Fire Coffee, featuring Stevie Wonder and Pokeman TV series. Other recordings and or compositions include projects for Dancemania, Bass Patrol, Tiki & Dodo Book/CD series, teaching vocal workshops, writting lyrics, vocal arrangements and touring with Japanese artist such as Morning Musume, TRF, Max, rapper Equal, Japanese Soul Legend Masayuki Suzuki and Tekeshi Nakatsuka, to name a few. I've also performed with legendary musicians including Cab Calloway, Theodore Marcus "Teddy" Edwards, Larry Von Nash, Carl Burnett, Roy Hargrove, George Clinton, Bernard Wright and the late Robert Palmer. Since returning from my second performance contract, nine months at Japan's newest luxury hotel Ritz Carlton Tokyo, the cities tallest skyscraper, I've also had the opportunity to perform at the Ritz Carlton Bahrain Luxury Hotel and Resort.
Now that I'm home ONE of my goals is to record projects of "Standards" with a new fresh modern sound. I want to continue connecting with talented musicians that feel these type projects are important. A part of my music path is to continue the art of vocal expression with the soul of our fathers reaching the hearts and minds of our youth. If you share this idea feel free to contact me and let's discover a New Standard. If you are a lover of Jazz, R&B and Spiritual Music...
