I can fit easily into an existing group situation and provide quality keyboards for whatever style is required. I also compose, record and produce music. I currently lead a Contemporary Jazz group and I also work with a pro Motown group.

If you see me perform, you will see that I have all of my own equipment, that I am professionally dressed, and provide what is needed in a group setting. You would enjoy hearing my abilities on keyboards. If I perform jazz, it may be with another musician or several, depending on the occasion. If I perform dance music, it would be with one of my bands that I work with. You would also notice that play more than just piano part. With my 3 keyboard instruments, I can provide horn parts, string parts, and specialty parts that the music requires. I am a well-rounded musician that has been performing for most of my adult life.
I grew up playing the drums and percussion instruments. I took to the piano early because I come from a musical family. I read music and have a well-developed ear. I am jazz-oriented, but I can provide dance music or any other style for your event.
I use mostly Roland keyboard gear. I own a Roland Fantom G7 professional synthesizer/workstation. I also use a Roland Juno Di synth for a wide variety of performance sounds. In addition, I own and use an M-Audio Axiom Pro 64 MIDI controller, which I attach to one of my other keyboards to utilize other sounds. I use an outboard mixer and amplifier for my keyboards, and I can provide Direct In connections to an external house mixer, for performance or recording sessions.
