Album Notes

I am a musician from southern Maryland. I have shared the stage with bands such as Blues Traveler, Rusted Root, Culture, The Avett Brothers and Ratdog. Mnhoti (pronounced "minotee") A Tale of Time Begins, is my first professional printed album and is acoustic. Acoustic music symbolizes the beginning of time when there was no electricity and no distortion. I co-produced this album with Pam Park, who also sings back up vocal on "Your Thing" and "Grasshopper Song."

My music is a reflection of my life. It comes from the street and most likely will remain in the street—simple tunes for simple people. If my music only touches one person's life in a positive way, then my job as a musician is done. I believe it's all about getting a message across. The message is, instead of living in a world full of hate and war, we can work on living in a world full of peace and love. When you are a lover of both playing and listening to music, you often come across the ultimate question: would you rather be playing on stage or dancing in the crowd? Both decisions require sacrifice, but one seems the easier route.

Other Musicians that played on this album are Jon Albright on Bass and Bob Clise on Drums for the "D Interlude" song. As well as Josh Koslak on drums for the "Touch the Ground" song. This album was recorded in DC at One World Studios, down in southern MD at KMH studios and in WV at Psyche Studios.
