About
Born in Brooklyn, raised in the Bronx—his beginnings trace a path through rhythm and grit. Music was never a choice but an inheritance, passed down from voices that filled his home long before he could write his own. By five, he was already singing, weaving himself into the fabric of R&B alongside his brother, while quietly absorbing the sounds of Jazz, Soul, and the classics his father placed in his hands.
What emerged was not just a talent, but a signature—music written with intention, produced with instruments as its backbone, and delivered with a voice that carries both history and hunger. His time behind the curtain at Sony BMG only sharpened his edge, revealing the industry’s secrets while igniting a fire to bring back something it has almost forgotten.
He doesn’t simply make songs—he creates moments that feel familiar yet new, intimate yet universal. For him, music is more than sound; it is a return, a reminder, and a reckoning.
Additional booking notes
I just need the sound system location and connection type. Otherwise I just need a table and a power socket, as I can bring my own setup.
