As a freelancer I play mostly Urban Music,
primarily RnB & funk. You'll also find me in various
other situations, wheather it be Rock, Jazz, Hip-hop, and even Metal.
I really do love each genre, and bring a professional
bottom end to any situation.
I'm also the bassist for the legendary rock group Whitesnake.
Most of my gigs are either with them or with the Hip-Hop group Lyrics
Born. You can still find me doing local hits in the Bay Area as well as nationwide with various artists.
Here are some folks whom I've either played, toured or recorded with:
Christina Aguilera

Alicia Keys - RnB
Toni Tony Tone - RnB
Lyrics Born - Hip-Hop
Ledisi - RnB

2008 was a
great year for me. With Whitesnake I toured Japan, New Zealand, Australia, South America,
headlining festivals and shows in Europe, and released
a new CD "Good to be Bad". All in all we played to about 1 Million fans in '08.
We won Rock Album of the year & Live Event of the year (for our tour with Def Leppard). But enough about Whitesnake.
In between Whitesnake tours, I've been playing with hip-hopper
Lyrics Born, in support of our release titled "Everywhere at Once" (which coincidentally came out the same day as the new Whitesnake CD). Both albums are well received and are charting well - HOT CORN!
