I'm
a songwriter, composer and producer with many years of worldwide
musical experience. I play guitar, tabla drums, keyboards, harmonica,
bass, trumpet, sing and over the years I've recorded with groups
of many genres including Rock, Rhythm & Blues, African,
Jazz, Hip-Hop, Calypso, Reggae, Rap, and East Indian Classical
music.
My
CDs are mastered with uplifting, energy-balancing technologies
including 'Tranquility'
re-mastered with 'Hemi-Sync' Technology and 'The
Real Cool Kingdom' mastered with Lumin
White's 'FMR' processing and my first two recordings 'Whispers
In the Wind' and 'Lavender Blue' released on Inner Light Records,
received top ratings in
Option
and Jazziz
magazines.
I worked in Kauai, Hawaii as the Music Director for a Software
Entertainment Company, CodeName
Mana and worked for One Song Inc., a Computer
Game Company in Sausalito, California. My band, 'The O Band'
composed and recorded the soundtrack for the video game 'Endorfun'
released by Time Warner Interactive. I've donated my services
to Earthwalker's
International Advisory Team to promote world peace through planting
trees and encouraging people to preserve our natural environment.
As
a toddler I was intrigued by music and loved playing songs on
the piano and my toy trumpet. At the age of five I began studying
the accordion and then sang in my school and church choirs.
In Junior High I began playing a real trumpet receiving scholarships
and awards. In High School I recorded an album playing guitar
with the award winning Ann Arbor Huron High Jazz Band. In college
I studied composition, arranging and trumpet at Oakland University
in Michigan and was offered a scholarship to attend the New
England Conservatory of Music in Boston, Massachusetts. I then
become interested in East Indian Classical music, began playing
the tabla drums and traveled to India to deepen my practice
of meditation and yoga which I taught in New York and California.
I perfected my engineering and producing skills studying Pro
Tools digital recording in San Francisco, California.
Wishing you a life full of all that
you love, beauty, peace and happiness!
