I'm a Vocalist/Frontman/songwriter/guitarist and backing vocalist; Actor/Support Artist/Model.
I was born on a small Island in the Caribbean called St Vincent. Came to the UK at age 10. I’ve been exercising my vocal chords since childhood. My voice is powerful (natural and falsetto). It’s been said; “You don't need a microphone with a voice like that!” I have my own distinctive style and vocal sound. I can get an audience motivated with ease!
At age 5, I started singing/acting at School and Church, where I've performed in concerts (solo & choir) and plays. At age 15, I started learning to play the guitar and performed as a Vocalist/Frontman in my first (Soul/Pop) band. Throughout the years, I've performed at a range of functions and venues like - Weddings; Anniversary, Birthday, Barbecue parties; Balls; Dinners; Pubs; Social Clubs; Hotels; Nightclubs; Universities; Arenas; Corporate Functions; Military Bases; Festivals; Carnivals; on a vessel on the River Thames; and even in Barns. I've won singing competitions, recorded professionally, done session work, had publishing deals and have attracted strong interest from record companies - strongest from Arista Records, and supported Coolio. I can dance (Disco/Freestyle), play guitar and compose my own songs.
My influences are James Brown, Otis Redding, Al Green, Wilson Pickett, Sam & Dave, Edwin Starr, Stevie Wonder, Prince, Marvin Gaye, Elvis Presley, and others...
