Born and raised in Queens New York, Kaleb is a self taught musician. Coming from a musical family, Kaleb began performing professionally at 14. Funk, rock, jazz, punk, R'n'B, fusion, reggae, salsa and the rest are just labels. Music is music and Kaleb's understanding of this is exemplified time and again. He retains an unmistakable love and respect throughout his approach as both a performer and a composer. By 18, Kaleb had worked with an eclectic number of artists throughout the New York area long before his first major tour in '87 as keyboardist for R'n'B artist Al B Sure. Since then he has toured as both keyboardist and/or vocalist for artists such as:
Rocker Lenny Kravitz for his landmark album "Let Love Rule", hip hop queen Ai as band master for each of her live tours for the past 4 years, jazz/fusion saxophonist Oliver Lake as a member of his ground breaking alternative band "Jump-Up", japanese pop star Misia as band master for her debut album tour "Mother, Father, Brother, Sister", jazz vocalist Toulani Jordan Kinard of legendary vocal troupe "Sweet Honey in the Rock", chinese R&B diva Coco Lee on her "Taiwan: Live" tour, singer/producer Monday Michiru on live tours and performances as well as her album "Double Image", soul legends Fred Wesley and the JB's on their "Live in Japan" tour '99, J-Pop idols SMAP as band leader on their 2008 tour "Super Modern Artistic Performance", etc.
Along with being a gifted player and vocalist, Kaleb has written, produced and arranged music for game softwares (such as "Bust-A-Move") soundtracks (such as short film, "EXPAT"), television programs (such as "Ao No Shougeki") and a laundry list of commercials and jingles. In December 2005, Kaleb released "Deja Vu", the second album in his Trilogy Series (the first "In The Life", was released in 2003). Kaleb also writes and performs for his two bands, Phate and New York Minute. Kaleb also contributes as the concert reporter for internet podcast, The Metpod (http://www.tokyometpod.com/).
