Music was my first love and has been my passion since I was a child. Saxophone is my primary instrument, and I also play drums and compose using piano, Rhodes, B3, and vibraphone.

Since first hearing David Sanborn’s Straight to the Heart in 1986, contemporary jazz has been the center of my musical world.

I began composing in 1992 and now have enough original music for five albums. My other influences include Joe Sample, Miles Davis, Tom Scott, Marcus Miller, John Legend, John Mayer, Lenny Kravitz and DMB.

The album I am currently working on blends the classic contemporary jazz feel of Joe Sample with chill & neo-soul elements. But upcoming album projects will also include horn sections, vocals and strings.
