Artist History Involved with music since early childhood. Studied harmonica then the trumpet from 3rd to 6th grade. Introduced to the piano, guitar and trombone in Junior High School. Extensive music appreciation, theory and composition throughout school. Continued studying after school while in the Armed Forces. A strong Gospel background has been a great factor in my keyboard development. The keyboards became my instrument of choice because of the technologial advances that afford me so much more flexibility in composition (longlive midi). My taste variations are reflected in the many different projects I am involved in. I am currently trying to develop a style I can call my own. Its been quite a challenge because all of the other influences keep seeping through.
