Musical Influences Jimi Hendrix to Nat King Cole

Similar Artists I recently was told at a gig that I am a cross between Jimi Hendrix and Marvin Gaye, although technically my voice is baritone, so go figure.

Artist History Born and raised in Chicago. I am a self taught musician except for vocal training with Vocal Mechanics-Chicago(Robert Burgess) and Opera Ebony-New York. Professionally my musical endeavors began with Trax Records in 1989 to about 1992. This includes a Virgo4 album, a M.E. album, an Ace & the Sandman album, and a 12" release called "Winter Days and Summer Nites" sung by a singer named Yvonne Gage which received radio recognition on Chicago radio stations such as WGCI, WNUA and WCRX. I then attended the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and pursued painting and fashion design. Some projects can be seen around the city sponsored by the Chicago Park District, along with residential and production company projects. Since I have been performing locally when possible and working fulltime on my music to complete a cd and painting when I can. This is a hard thing I am trying to do, having a job for a years I have left that behind and I doing my music persistently. I trying to perform at larger venues and finish recordings for my cd, with basically no funding. Most of my recording is done at my home studio, although there are studios I may be collaborating with for some songs.

Instruments I play guitar, drums, bass, keyboards and sing.

Albums VIRGO4(TRAX/RADICALRECORDS), M.E.(TRAX RECORDS), ACE&THE SANDMAN(TRAX RECORDS)
