    It all started at a local church down the street from my place of residence. It was a very small church. I offered to play for them for just $25 a week. That was my way of learning while earning. I've always been told work smarter not harder, so as I moved to different churches I realized I had learned more so I could charge more. One thing I really love about music is you NEVER stop learning. Learning music and all of its characteristics is exponential. Each genre is its own world, so when I found a few worlds I loved, I grew a very strong passion for music.

    I have played for funerals, family reunions, church sermons, church anniversaries, and birthday events. I'm very open to exploring new events to perform in. If I can hear it, I can play it, so don't hesitate to request specific songs!
