Music

I play many genres of music such as any style of Jazz, Pop, R&B, Gospel, Salsa, Country and the Blues. From the standard repertoire of Duke Ellington, Stevie Wonder and Bruno Mars to my own new and original music, the musical traditions I am inspired by are drenched in the rich history of Black American Music.
