He cultivated his talent at the Arts Magnet High School where he walked the same harmonious hallways as Roy Hargrove, Erykah Badu, and Norah Jones.

It was during these years that he began to explore his passion for soul music and developed his production and songwriting skills. The next chapter of our story finds our soul Brother touring the world as musical director, arranger, and producer for multiple Grammy award winner, Erykah Badu.

Geno wrote and produced the hit songs "Times a Wastin" and "Orange Moon" on the 2001 release "Mama's Gun". He also served as associate executive producer for N'Dambi's "Tunin'up and co signin' and.
