Groove is EVERYTHING!!
Tight. Musical. On Time.
Whether you need deep pocket drums, soulful bass lines, or both—I bring over 25 years of experience playing live and in-studio with Grammy-winning and chart-topping artists across gospel, soul, R&B, pop, and funk.
I’ve held down stages and sessions for legends like Patti Austin, Johnny Gill, Freddie Jackson and Hezekiah Walker. I've also served as a go-to music director and rhythm section anchor on international tours, cruise lines, and major televised performances (BET, TBN, and more).
What I Deliver:
Lock-tight live drum stems
Rich, clean bass guitar lines that support and elevate your track
Fast turnaround and pro-quality audio from my home studio
Communication that makes remote work feel effortless
Let’s build the groove that makes your song undeniable.
