"I started playing music at the age of five, an old piano at my grandfather's house. By the time I was eight I was fluent with chords and scales and the sounds of National Public Radio. I was called a prodigy and all that, but from the start I slept with music for the very reasons some people sleep with other people they love. It was my escape and my only outlet to creative genius around me. I grew up playing guitar which I stopped playing when I was 15. I found the trumpet, I was very attracted to classical music for it's depth. I played all of the music possible through the next 10 years that I could possibly play. I was making money at it by the age of 14 with local orchestras, Operas and chamber music. I was composing from as early as I can remember. I felt like I had done everything I could to understand the past. It was truly obesessive, especially with the study of other instruments, I play fourteen fluenty now. When I entered junior high I heard Miles Davis, Coltrane, Thelonius Monk, and Parker. That was it for me, everything was funked up for me then, I spent the rest of my existence from then evolving through the landscapes of Jazz from the 20's to Jaco, Wheather Report, Pat Methany, Mike Stern, David Holland, The Yellow Jackets. I studied music composition and performance for five years... too long. I toured for over eight years on and off with some of the classic big bands, Tommy Dorsey and others. That's where dance as we know it today really evolved. Four on the floor swingin' mother $#@ beats. I studied last at UNT and found myself in Dallas. Falling into the depths of all of my newly found D.J. friends & how it happened, who cares, but I am. House music, groove, it's all love to me. Music is what I understand, it's been said that art mimics life. I believe it's the other way around. From our minds comes thought, from there we can go to the moon".
