- About Me:
- Native of New Orleans, Louisiana, . . . Began drumming at the age of 6 on a parade
snare drum. Each birthday of ages 7 and 8, I got other parts to make up a drum kit.
Age 7 I recieved as a birthday gift of a bass drum, kik pedal and two toms on top (by a company I "STILL' NEVER HEARD OF" - 'NORMA' ???? - 'What-The Heck Kind-a?...!!!!),
plus Hi Hats, and 1 crash cymbal and stand. On my 8th birthday, I recieved a 16" floor tom
with 'NO NAME ON IT*#@%$DOINK'!!!!, a ride cymbal and stand, plus another crash
cymbal and stand. All blue in color, but none of them matched!!!! But believe me, I was
still thankful to have them. So I had a year to learn how to incorporate each addition to
the kit and how to execute with them. Practicing up to 6 and 8 hours a day at times.
Sometimes jammin with my two older brothers, Adrian and Oran, who played guitar and bass and both sang. By the age of 9, was playing school talent shows, local parties and even night clubs with my brother's band " The Cavaliers "(They'd sneek me in through the back
door so I wouldn't be seen going in through the front door (Clever huh!!!!!!!!?).
After several different local band affiliations and building playing and performance stage experience plus reputation in New Orleans, moved to Los Angeles in the middle of January of 1979. Then by the end of February 79, joined The Jackson family(The Jackson 5).
Through my work, I have performed with the artist; MICHAEL JACKSON, THE JACKSONS, JANET JACKSON, JERMAINE JACKSON, MADONNA, ELTON JOHN, GEORGE MICHAEL, KENNY G., STEVIE WONDER, LIONEL RICHIE, CAMEO, PATTI AUSTIN, BABYFACE, RICHARD MARX, TINA MARIE, LINSEY BUCKINGHAM, THE O'JAYS, JULIAN LENNON, PETER CETERA, TIMOTHY B. SCHMIT( of THE EAGLES) AND OTHERS. AT PRESENT, A CONTINUED WORKING RELATIONSHIP WITH CAMEO.
I HAVE BEEN WRITING, RECORDING AND PRODUCING MY OWN PERSONAL MUSIC PROJECTS OVER THE YEARS, SOME OF WHICH TO BE RELEASED SOON.
MY NEW CHRISTMAS CD IS NOW COMPLETED AND AVAILABLE NOW AT CD baby.com _
I AM AN AVID GRAPHIC ARTIST, AND LOVE TO DESIGN MANY VARIOUS MEDIUMS OF PRODUCTS AND ITEMS, ESPECIALLY CUSTOM DRUM KIT SET UPS AND INDIVIDUAL DRUM CONCEPT DESIGNS.
I LOVE MOVIES (especially action and sci-fi), EXOTIC SPORTS AND LUXURY CARS, ESOTERIC AUDIO / VIDEO AND HOME THEATRE CINEMA EQUIPTMENT AND DESIGNS, CONTEMPORARY HOME ARCHETECTURE DESIGNS AND INTERIOR DESIGN, EXOTIC WATCHES, AND CUSTOM CYCLES, CUSTOM DRUM KIT DESIGNS AND OTHER INSTRUMENTS AND CLOTHING DESIGN.
ABOVE ALL ELSE, . . . . . . . . . . I'M JUST HAPPY TO BE ALIVE!!!!!__
