Growing up: I started loving music at the age of 4.   I had three sisters who all sing in beautiful harmony.  I used to cry because I wanted to sing with them.     I came from a very musical family.  At eight years old, my family went to the West Indies as missionaries where I was exposed to a wide variety of music for six years in Trinidad and Tobago.   I learned to play many instruments such as drums, guitar, bass, steel drums, percussion, trumpet, baritone, and piano.  We many times performed at churches growing up as a quartet with Mom on the piano. 

Influences: My influences came from many sources while growing up such as Stevie Wonder, Sly and the Family Stone, James Brown,   Aretha Franklin,  Jimi Hendrix, James Brown, The Eagles, Credence Clearwater Revival,  Earth Wind and Fire,  Michael McDonald,  AWB,  Tower of Power,  and many influences from the West Indies including Salsa, Calypso, Reggae,  African Rhythms,  Indian Music  and drum styles,  and various Latin styles from South America.I love playing various instruments and collect flutes and drums.    I played in various music groups and bands growing up, and was Leader of the High Energy Gospel Band "Skylight" that performed throughout   the 80s and 90s and went on the win the battle of the bands in Cal Expo and was also a showcase band at the California State fair.   

Mission: I hope and Bless and Inspire others through music.  I strive to be a valuable team member to PIF as we continue to grow, and improve.

I am now thoroughly enjoying playing Keyboards.  We have a great group of talented and passionate members that challenge each other to excellence for God.   I love playing music for God.  It is my offering back to him.  I hope to inspire others to Worship and Praise God, and use their talents also for his Glory

Vision: I am interested in producing a CD this year with Paid in Full.  I also hope to continue to learn and grow as a musician and I Hope to someday to be more involved in working with Gospel Choir production.  I love great singing, and high energy soulful music.
