"Musicians I admire include Stevie Wonder, Kenny Garrett, Roy Hargrove, Soulive, Maroon 5, Madeski Martin and Wood, and Douglas Albert - they have all influenced me in their own individual ways and helped me to create the style that is my own.  My goals are to be comfortable and happy being a professional musician. The possibilities are endless and it's undeniably what I love to do."

"I met Daniel at the Yard Rock when he was 8 and I was 13. We reunited recently when I noticed his parents were the dance instructors at my high school for the senior class. He'd put together this band and I instantly enjoyed playing with them when I first sat in on a gig. They were a tight group consisting of great musicians and I wanted to be a part of it."

"My father started me in music and it seems like I've been playing the keyboard my whole life. The best thing about performing for an audience is the feedback and making people groove. Besides the keyboard, I also sing and played the bass clarinet through high school.
I compose music and have a large library of songs. I put out an album at age 15 of 10 original songs."

"My favorite styles of music are Funk, Jazz, Blues, and World. Six of my all-time favorite songs are: Don't You Worry Bout A Thing - Stevie Wonder, Virtual Insanity - Jamiroquai, Red Clay - Freddy Hubbard, So What - Miles Davis, Sunday Morning - Maroon 5, and Sing a Song of Song - Kenny Garrett. "
