DS3 .: Click To Enter :. The Opening He is just a Bassist (who does double on keyboards and guitar in the home studio) to release the purity of positive ness feelings of happiness, purity of the heart, and magic as well as pull the dark tones of loneliness, hurt, disappointment, from his heart, mind, through his fingers to share with those who need to feel. Sometimes his music is of places traveled, of situations/moods encountered, or maybe (and often) his wonderful wife who inspires something within..? The Influences The main types of music that has influenced him are Jazz, R&B, Funk, Soul, Pop, New Age, Rap, Blues, Latin Jazz, and Rock. His many influences include such greats as Miles Davis, Marcus Miller, Louis Johnson, George Duke, Peter White, Pharell, Earth, Wind & Fire, Michael McDonald, Rippingtons, Earl Klugh, FourPlay, Luther Vandross, Eagles, Jameraquai, Warren G, Snoop Dogg, 50cents, Azymuth, Miguel Bose..the list goes on! Oh, and also my family of course! Background Now residing in sunny Malaysia, This Southern (USA) boys family was a musical one starting with his Grandmother, a music teacher. His father was always around the house playing music with the Saxophone or Clarinet. His mother would often play the piano. There was always music in the house, and singing, playing, etcespecially at the family get togethers! Of course there was the Church service, which also had singing and such. Mom would make his sister and he perform duets, which he didnt really care for.but thats life! He started with Guitar at the age of about 10, but found the bleeding fingers to be to much (ouch!). Later on (when he could afford it), he purchased a cheap Fender Precision Copy which got him started..I think the first song I try to play was Stomp by the Brothers Johnson. Also Larry Graham and Stanley Clarke were a few of his favorites at the time. During these years, he has collected many songs that have danced in his head, and decided to release them from this secret place for others to have a listen, and maybe even enjoy.something like a Special Message To The People. Where Performed He mainly performs in the privacy of his home studio, but will gladly entertain those who wish to experience something different that will have your feet tapping, hands clapping, head bobbin, heart feeling, and leave you with a positive note. Previously performed with an R&B Band in gigs (during the long Spanish nights) with his former group. Even though they did play the popular songs of the time, they often would get together to do their Jazz Thang. Although inspired by his own music, he does really love the involvement of others to make it a Music Party as this is most entertaining and creates spontaneous tunes never yet conceived. Dedications Allah the Allmighty, My lovely wife, children, and friends some of which I have already met, some which I will meet.do hope to see you! To End The Bio on a Positive Vibe So Now.I do hope you enjoy the tunes, and I will post more as I finally complete them.so many songs, so little time! These are meant to get you in a special mood.and its not about the money! Keep in mind that there are many around you who may be on their last hope, so please extend your hand and give them a positive outlook as it may be just the thing to turn their life around. Thanks for your time, attention, and keep the attitude positive! P.S.
