This talented gentleman got his start singing in the tenth grade where he was approached by his choral teacher to audition for the Fort Dorchester High School Show Choir. This is where he learned the basics of vocal performance. During his three years in the choir he led various songs and developed an appreciation for the music styles of classical, jazz, gospel, hymns and country music.
At age 13, he joined the sound department at Life Christian Assembly. This is where great emphasis was placed on service by his mentor. In 2001, He then went on to serve four character building years in the U.S. Air Force where he took advantage of major singing opportunities. These would include the honor of performing the National Anthem at several Change of Command Ceremonies and numerous retirement ceremonies for veterans leaving active duty service. He has rendered his vocal talent to several choirs and teams. While in Whichita Falls, TX he was a part of the Sheppard AFB Special Activities Choir and the Inspiration Gospel Service Choir. In the end of 2002, he moved to Travis AFB(Fairfield, CA) where he joined the Word of Faith Christian Center Praise Team and Choir.

He has also joined forces with Northern California's own Adwoa Dora(singer) and Art Caraway(producer/musician) to compose the song "Serve The Lord" which is featured in the play "The Misplaced Servants" (Charter Road Productions) which is now available on DVD.
