I sang in Church and school choirs since the age of 5 and studied classical voice in High School and  college level.   My high school choir performed in various competitions around the state and scored among the highest in the state of Alabama.  I composed my first choral work at age 18, from Psalm 121, and have written many Gospel and sacred works throughout my life. In my childhood in the  Mississippi Delta, music was what first  drew me to God, and I couldn't get enough of it. Everything from Handel's Messiah to  the Many wonderful sounds of African American Gospel music in the deep south.
     I have been a soloist on voice, piano and organ at many Church services in the U.S.  . I am the organist at Beebe Memorial Christian Methodist Episcopal Church in Oakland, a predominantly African American congregation, with a 20 voice choir where I  play Hammond Organ and piano in traditional Negro Spirituals, Contemporary Gospel, as well as familiar hymns and Classical pieces.
     The members of the choir and I at Beebe Memorial are excellent at reading music as well as being able to flow with the movement of the Holy Spirit, in a joyful worship service that carries the annointing of God in the power of music.

     In 1997 and 98, I was the music director of a large production Christmas Pageant put on by the city of Salinas, California, where I composed and arranged the music, working with set, lighting, and video crews, Choreographers, musicians. actors, and singers of all ages and ethnic backgrounds.

My new Gospel CD, currently in progress, features members of The San Francisco "Glide Ensemble" choir, who have performed  for Bill and Hillary Clinton.  The Cd, entitled "Beacon Of Light" features  Original gospel songs inspired by dreams, visions, and the writings of the Gospel.  Also recorded are new arrangements of classic hymns, spirituals and American Black Gospel Music.
