A wonderful blend of smooth jazz, funk, dance and world music centralized through the piano, acoustic guitar and the occasional synth lead..
ALL of the compositions you hear here start with one simple truth - without God, I could do nothing but because of HIM, all this is possible! Each and every effort is a serenade to Him, as I owe Him every song. Over the years, I've learned new things about song composition and have always been willing to push the boundaries of sound. I was trained as a musician and recording engineer as a child, learning to put together melodies when I was only 7 years old. This was at the height of jazz fusion where lead instrumental improvisation was king. Although I was trained early on to read and write sheet music, this improvisation has shaped my writing. Now, I write from my heart. The songs represented here are the culmination of my ventures. Each new song is a lesson in itself as I am a never ending student of music, sound and the new and emerging recording processes. As you listen, keep in mind these are my intimate conversations with God. My conversations are sometimes upbeat, sometimes somber, but never boring. In all, I share these songs so that you may enjoy the music.

Story behind the song
Some old school funk. Just like in the days of Midnite Star and Shalamar. Loved that style and loved their rhythm. This song is one of my "throwbacks", but with my jazzy touch.

Funky synth sounds and some cool layering bring this track to life. With sophisticated rhythms, panning rhoads, and acoustic guitar which adds another great layer, all makes an enjoyable listen.

A sterling production. The (funky) rhodes and acoustic guitar implementation are flawlessly executed. One of the outstanding elements to me is the string arrangement. Perfectly placed to accentuate the movement of the track. Real nice…and the funky break at around 2:35...well done. Top Notch and funk-up throughout.
