I am a music producer, composer, and pianist whose sound blends hip-hop, R&B, soul, funk, gospel, and classical influences. I play keyboard, piano, electric guitar, and bass instruments. I'm fully committed to producing my best work on my own releases and for my clients.
I compose to different moods and vibes. My first release is a heartfelt blend of hip hop and R&B soul with a modern twist that unfolds with lush keyboard and piano textures, warm electric guitar, and driving bass. The track moves between emotive highs and gentle lows, capturing the vulnerability of reaching out to someone you care for. Ideal for romantic moments and uplifting.
I'm passionate about music, and I have a high level of musical creativity. I create immersive soundscapes that tell meaningful stories and emotionally connect with listeners. With strong expertise in DAW software, sound arrangement, and audio engineering, my passion is sharing music that reflects real life and resonates with audiences everywhere.
I have always been so influenced by music since I was a child. I see music as a story relatable to people's lives. One of the artists that has inspired me in music is Meshell Ndegeocello, among others.
My earliest influences came from a mix of R&B, hip-hop, soul, and classic records. Artists who blended emotion with confidence shaped my style and mindset. I was inspired by performers who were authentic, fearless, and consistent. Those influences pushed me to start writing, experimenting with beats, and developing my own sound.
My journey in music began at a young age, long before I understood the business behind it. Growing up, music was always present, whether it was playing through speakers at home, echoing from car radios, or at family gatherings. I grew up in a family full of musicians, and it has been an influence in my childhood. As a child, I was drawn to rhythm, melody, and storytelling.
I began performing locally, starting with small venues, open mics, talent showcases, and community events. Those early performances taught me discipline, confidence, and how to connect with an audience. Over time, I evolved from simply performing to truly commanding the stage, learning how to read crowds, control energy, and deliver memorable performances.
As my skills developed, I became involved with different music groups and creative collectives. Working within groups helped sharpen my songwriting, harmony, and collaboration skills; blend ideas; respect creative differences; and elevate projects beyond individual effort and live performance, while others were studio-driven, allowing me to grow in both environments. I performed at clubs, showcases, local festivals, private events, and promotional concerts. These experiences helped me improve, build my reputation, and expand my reach. I also became deeply involved in performing at my church. I learned a lot through this involvement, and it has shaped me as a musician deeply. Music is my journey in life.
