My drive for singing started when I was about 8 years old in Cleveland Ohio.. My mother sang in the church and I was always sitting anxiously on the front row waiting for my turn to sing and show off and I think that's where I get my deep passion for music. When I was in Elementary, JR and High school I was always in some type of choir, singing group or talent show. David Ruffin and Eddie Kendicks of the Temptations were my idols. I worked a paper route when I was 13 years old and saved up enough to buy a microphone and reel to reel tape recorder so I could practice over and over again perfecting every note and I have to admit it didn't sound to good at first! I wore a lot of phonograph needles out listening to a song over and over again. I was even in a gospel Singing group called the Ruffin singers we performed with the Mighty clouds of Joy once, that was a big thrill! I had many other influences though, Ray Charles, Sam Cooke, Luther Vandross Brooke Benton, The Mills Brothers The Chilites, The Dells, The Manhattans and The Dramatics and countless others. This CD is a salute to all these great and talented people that inspired me never to give up, quit, or throw in the towel. I hope it brings back great memories for you. Everyone has a talent, your mission in life should be to find it and pursue it because life's too short.
God gave me a talent to Sing and share emotions and music with the world. I'm thankful for that and I hope you enjoy my contribution to this thing we all call Life.
