Early Beginnings
I believe I had fallen in love with music at birth.
Music and entertainment has been an integral part of my life for as long as I can remember.
At home around the age of 5, my older siblings would hand me their old 45 records to play on our little cheap record player, as they did whatever it was that young kids did... And at that point I had began to develop a taste for the "musical standouts" ... you know... the Good stuff...
A True Music Lover
Something I did religiously as a young teenager and up to my early adult years...
I would keep track of the best and most popular music.
EVERY weekend I would listen to "America's Top 40 Countdown" hosted by the legendary Casey Kasem, as I followed the best and most popular tracks of the week, for years!
I would rarely miss an episode of
Dick Clark's "American Bandstand", Wolfman Jack's "Midnight Special", and the Infamous Don Cornelius's "Soul Train!"
Now that I'm looking back on things, I can see how that natural musical appreciation, and natural progression has lead me to a position of where I am today.
I've never been to college to study music theory, nor music composition... but when it comes to music there's one thing I can contest to, not all things are taught in classrooms!
Recent Acting/Filmology
In the past I've created a few music videos, but I had always been behind the cameras. So now after classes, workshops and a lot of reading, I have been having a ball executing my latest craft of... Acting!
I've been very lucky to have landed several roles in Tv commercials.
Also in upcoming Tv shows:
TVOne network's "Fatal Attraction" crime recreation, and a small acting role in the upcoming Tv series pilot called, "Spilled Paint".. coming soon to the TUBI Network in early 2024
Life Today as an Author
I'm the last person to ever believe that I would have become an author...
The thing is... I hadn't read a novel in over 25 years!
Maybe it's because I didn't set out to become a writer... the characters, the story, and dialogue just started one day as I was sitting at my laptop.
Family and friends who had read some of the writings started encouraging me not to quit and to continue on with it...
Because just like myself, we all became intrigued and wanted to read where the story was going, and the only way to do so, was to keep writing.
And so in my heart, I truly believe, this story chose ME, to write IT...
