Dayton

I am a very passionate smooth jazz, r&b and gospel singer, pianist, composer and producer. My goal is that my music plays straight to the heart and soul setting the vibe just right for some love, peace, and groove. I began playing the piano at the age of 8 playing by ear. My parents recognized the gift and arranged for me to take formal piano lessons from a jazz pianist instructor by the name of Tom Brady. Tom became my mentor and that's where it all began; a whole new realm opened up. At the age of 13 I began to play for choirs and singers in church settings. I began to write music I wrote my first "real" song when I was 18. I never stopped learning, practicing, and collaborating with other musicians to help build my self-confidence and skill level. In the early 80's I had the privilege of appearing on a television program titled "Gospel Celebration" performing original music on numerous occasions. Since then I've recorded and produced multiple smooth jazz albums.
