Just me and all of my peoples. If you can cause me to make the "funk face" (the face that musicians make that looks like they suddenly noticed that someone just broke wind), I want you in my mix!

I'm a guitarist/bassist/songwriter/producer/funkateer whose mission in the music is to keep things funky and proud. After graduating from Oberlin College in 1999 with a BA in Music Production, I moved to DC, where I have been blessed to be a part of the city's amazing soulful music scene. I have had the pleasure of working with some great musicians and musical projects in many different capacities. They are all examples of great music, so click their name and check out their vibe! They include:
