As a teen, I grew up listening to various kinds of artists. I was deeply inspired by some of the music legendary artists like Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Brian McKnight, Michael Bolton, and Kenny G , and they motivated me to take up music as a professional career. My love for films and movies started when I met Natasha. She is a brilliant and inspirational writer, and that really captivated my imagination for Hollywood cinema.

Inspired, motivated, and always ready to tackle a new challenge.

Please tell me about your latest album “Unforgettable”, which just released, what was the inspiration for you to write it?

This album is inspirational to me in so many different ways. First, I was able to bring on board one of the best writers I have ever worked with, my long-time partner Natasha L. Nelson, on this project. We worked on this album while shooting our second film titled, “The Wonders of the Witches”.

Do you have a favorite track on the album that you connect with the most?

They are all my favorite, but two tracks in particular hold a special place. Track #2 titled “Beautiful” was inspired by the woman I love. Track #10 titled “Remember You” was written for my mother who I lost when I was young.

I see that you collaborated with Natasha L. Nelson to write, record, and produce “Unforgettable”. Can you please tell me something unique about your songwriting process together?

My process to produce and write with Natasha was simple, all I had to do was look at her and my inspiration came – and I believe it was the same for her.

Artists like Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Brian McKnight, Michael Bolton, and Kenny G, motivated me to become a better musician.

Many artists say that their arts help them heal past injuries.. how has music helped you?

Music has helped me cope with the loss of my mother at a young age and has helped me to find inner peace.

Who first inspired you, or what initially motivated you to achieve all that you have?

As a person, God and the angels have inspire me to be a better person. As a musician, my favorite artists inspired me to be a better composer.
