Musician at Independant Musician
Greater Chicago Area
As a professional musician I have a passion for all aspects of music. In addition to performing, I am a composer who writes jazz with a world beat. My music crosses genres from Jazz to Latin to Blues and Pop.
I have recorded three CD’s of original music (on the Southport Label in Chicago ) and I have released a fourth on the Pacific Coast Jazz Label in San Diego, CA. As a Chicago based musician, I have been lucky enough to record with several of the city's best - Bobby Lewis, Paul Wertico, Richard Patterson, Alejo Poveda, Ruben Alvarez, Larry Gray to name just a few.
Current Focus:
- Setting Booking schedule for 2009 Music Festivals
- Identifying the right agent/manager who has a passion for music.
