God is the head of my life and with him I will never fail. Most guys do an auto-biography of themselves, but I am just writing about me because thats what you wanna hear right, right! I have been playing drums since I was 16 so that would make it ummm almost 8 years now. I grew up playing piano and really wasnt satisfied with that, but little did I know that was just perfecting my ear. So it went on into highschool when I finnaly learned how to read music and got into Westfield Highschool' BIG RED BAND, I was in the pit playing marimba, timpani, suspended cymbals, toms and other percussion. While at Harvest Time I was playing percussion for the main adult choir, due to the old guy not showing up. I still believe it to be apart of Gods Ultimate Plan for me. While playing congas and timbales I developed my ear and taste for other types of sounds in addition to drums. Eventually a day came where the regular drummer wasnt able to show up, So I was asked to stand in. I was very nervous but ready and I havent looked back since. I give God all the glory and praise for my carrer thus far, and Its only just begun to see fruit. I've played for several artists including Dave Hollister, Mary Mary, Beau Williams, Liz Vaughn, Several American Idol Stars, Super Producer Brian Michael Cox, 90.1 KPFT annual "GUITARZILLA"event. The Hamilton Loomis Band, Big Al Bettis and Stacey Joseph of Israel & New Breed. God is truly blessed me and if you dont become a hater you'll be blessed the same as me. Much love to SJC Custom Drums, I look forward to working with you in the future, my dawg 4 life Kerry "phatback" Mike-bass, and my cuz Mike "Taxi" Williams-keys, Terrance Fisher-keys, Chevis Ross aka Masta Chop-Chop, My Momma Minsiter Janet Meriweather, My Dad Jasper Cortez, "BIG" Kendrick Thomas-bass, Mark and Byron of 4Tion Entertainment, DJ Statik, Herb and Stu of Quest Entertainment, A Few Good Men, The Org Houston.com, Cotton Exchange, Uncle Mojo, Sugar House, Identity Bar, Uptown Tapas, 19th Hole, 90.1 KPFT, 90.9 KTSU, 89.3 KSBJ, majic 102.1, Kellen Johnson, Ricky Gilford, Saint Mark MBC, New Oasis Of Faith Cathedral, Stacey Joseph, Pastor James Glynn, Bishop Thomas E. Wallace, Everybody in Beaumont and P.A., Andre Grant, Charles B. aka Jaguar, Everybody in Houston, TX and in St. Louis, MO. Thanks for all your prayers and all your words of encouragement and your FOOD! LOL God bless you all. PEACE Check this out! I was on tour and we shot a commercial for Ford Motors!!!!! .. ..
