I started my music career studying under the great Joe Henderson throughout my teenage years. Thanks in large part to his influences, I have also had the pleasure of performing alongside recognized names, Billy Cobham and George Cables, as a co-founder of the New York City based Jazz group, The Jazz Samaritans. Other artists include:
