My Dad had a Kidney transplant a week ago. He had a heart transplant 2 years prior. I think it’s unique that he now has a 19 year old heart and a 30 year old kidney in a 70 year old body. He is a great example of someone who has a high will to live!

SMH at our system in America. You can go to jail, come out and can’t vote or get a job, but a former president can be indicted in 4 different cases and still run for president? Excuse me, but who is running this country?? How is that okay and what is that teaching all of us?

Wrote and directed a play called “The Purple Tape” debuting at New Song Academy August 11th, 12th and 13th. Imagine a modern day take on the hit musical Hamilton mixed with the TV series The Get Down but set in Baltimore in the 90s!

I was a student of Hip Hop growing up, but my taste in music has shifted to writing more classical and jazz pieces as I reached my 40’s. My life and music has evolved organically; nothing was forced. – at Baltimore, MD
