Grew up in all parts of Chicago, kind of Gypsy-Style. I've lived all over this city; currently living on the south side. Greatly influenced by Prince, 70's Pop and R&B, 80's New Wave and grew up in bands that played funk, R&B. Mother was a great singer and never really made it like Chaka Khan, but was just as good. Phil Upchurch Jr. R.Kelly used to make demos in our basement before he made it to the big time.
My father is a singer from a classic male group of the 60's, Little Anthony and the Imperials. Right now, I have a State-of -the-Art home digital computer music multi-track studio and I dream every day to make music that will at least be nominated for a grammy and be seen on the national charts. I really do more production work nowadays as opposed to performing live.
I am currently working with a singer named Kelli Rich, who has experience on the theatre stage as well as on the rock stage. She is a star in the making. She has a dance record out now called "Mr DJ"
