About Me
Welcome to my musical journey!
As an accomplished musician with 20+ years of experience, I bring energy, precision, and creativity to every performance. My versatility spans Jazz, R&B, Funk, Rock, Gospel, Blues, and Go-Go, allowing me to adapt seamlessly to almost any musical setting. I specialize in acoustic drums but I offer digital, hybrid drumming, and totally digital accompaniment for live and studio projects.
Since relocating to the Washington, DC area in 2010 from Indianapolis, IN, I’ve become a trusted “go-to” drummer for local artists, churches, and community events. Known for a solid rhythmic foundation, vibrant stage presence, and musical sensitivity, I’m equally at home driving a deep pocket or delivering subtle, expressive textures. My playing style has been described by many as “a balance between dynamic energy and thoughtful restraint” making me perfectly suited for most any musical project or venue.
Beyond the stage, I am committed to music education and community building. I’m an active member of the Baltimore Jazz Alliance, the Alliance of Black Orchestral Percussionists, Pasadena, CA and the Percussive Arts Society, where I serve on the Music Technology Committee - all organizations that help me support, connect, share, and inspire through rhythm.
Whether performing live, recording in the studio, or leading a community musical program, my objective is the same: to bring passion, professionalism, and a deep love for rhythm to every musical experience.
