You know how some kids, at the age of 4, stand in front of the mirror and sing knowing that one day, they'll be a star performer...yeah...not me...I, and probably no one around me back then, would believe that at 23, I'd be working on an album and ministering through music.

I was born on the Southside of Chicago with an immediate love for and connection to music. God blessed me with a great childhood--never was the rich kid or anywhere close--but I had everything I needed and most of what I wanted. Music is my passion and I love it all...I don't discriminate! Good songwriting, good production, good playing, good singing and good arrangement makes for GOOD music. I've been influenced by a handful of gospel greats such as Kim Burrell, Israel Houghton, and Smokie Norful, but I have an equal love for great songwriters and musicians in every genre however including India Arie, John Mayer, Stevie Wonder, Musiq Soulchild and Rascal Flatts.
