How long have you been playing the saxophone?

Hmm….I think I became serious about the saxophone almost 9 years ago;It really articulates my creativity, musical expressions and voice, but I’ve been playing musical instruments since I about 12 so about 15 years. I’ve always loved learning new instruments, believe it or not I started out on the trumpet.

What got you started playing the saxophone?

Let’s see…. I’ve always loved the sound of a smooth sax. As a child I would listen to songs like Mister Magic by Grover Washington. Songbird by Kenny G. Breezin’ by George Benson. After Hours by Ronny Jordan. Najee’s Sweet Love and Secret Admirer. Vernard Johnson’s Amazing Grace. These are the songs I looked forward to hearing on the Kansas City local smooth jazz radio station 106.5 the City, after school while all my other friends where watching Power Rangers, cartoons, playing sports, talking about the newest r&b and rap song. I preferred the relaxing, soulful sounds of Smooth jazz my peers always thought that was kind of weird. Maybe it was but I loved it!

What type of events do you play at?

You can find me playing at Weddings, Celebrations, Festivals, Concerts, Churches, Special Occasions, Ministry engagements, etc..

Who inspires you?

God, Jesus, My Dad a fellow musician lead guitarist, Merlon Devine, Dave Koz, Stevie Wonder, Najee, George Benson, Kirk Whalum, Michael Jackson, Vernard Johnson (Kansas City legendary Saxophonist), Kenny G, Spyro Gyra, Ronnie Laws, Ben Tankard, Kirk Franklin, Charlie Parker, John Coltrane, too many to name.

What’s makes you different from any other saxophonist?

I believe this is a call and gift which God has place on my life and I play from a place that alot of people rarely go and that’s the heart and soul. I also have a rare blend of Gospel and NeoSoul that is rarely found in the jazz world but I’m really not one to toot my own horn.Ok…that was corny right? Just kidding.

What are your most requested songs?

Donna Lee by Charlie Parker, God of Wonder by Third day, Nobody Greater by Vashawn Mitchell, How Great is Our God, Amazing Grace by JahVelle Rhone.

How do you get the crowd excited?

From the beginning of the event I am greeting people at the door, then when they see me come and start announcing people already notice that I do more than play music. The customer service that I provide for my clients or more than I have ever seen any DJ do. After the entire crowd sees how well I have taken care of the wedding party they get excited to see what is coming. I am very interactive also. I love people and I love dancing! Plus, I know a whole bunch of dances that not many people know, so everyone comes out with a new dance in their arsenal after being at my events!
