What's up Yall thanks for stoppin by my internet crib! so here's a little info about me. I'm a graduate of SUNY Purchase where I majored in Jazz performance, Studio Composistion and Orchestration. I had some great teachers who really kicked my ass and gave me the occasional reality check, Michael Dadap, Charles Blenzig, Jon Faddis, Pete Malenverni, and Todd Coolman to name a few. But I probably wouldn't have stayed with or fallin in love with music without my mentors and who I might call my musical fathers Mr. William Hargrove and John Lampkin.
After school,I was lucky enough to land a job in Los Angeles working as an assistant music editor on "Miss Congeniality 2" and "A Lot Like Love" which eventually led to other movies such as "Never Back Down", "All About Steve" and most recently, Warner Bros.' "Observe and Report" and Dreamworks SKG "I Love You Man" I started working as a composer at JSM a music production house for tv commercials based in NYC which gave me the opportunity to write for Coke,PUMA, Pfizer, GMC along with other folks while working there. Also, I was fortunate enough to write some music for a couple of episodes of FX series "Dirt" along with scoring several indie films as well. I've produced a couple of remixes for Atlantic Records such as Estelle's "American Boy" feat Kanye West and most recently Laura Izibor's "From My Heart To Yours".
The people you meet though music is really one of the most beautiful relationships you can create and I've had the pleasure and honor to work with some amazing and talented musicians and producers and all around wonderful people like Jeffery Lee Cambell, Ray Vega, Mark Eagan, Bob Meyer, Morace Landy, Steve Lunt, Les Nubians, Blue Nefertiti, Lofey, Ja Rule and masters like Jimmy Cobb, Chick Corea, Pat Metheny, and Eddie Gomez.
I recently placed a song called "Insomnia" feat Kevin Ross and Ja Rule which will premier in the upcoming movie "The Bleeding". BBC Films' "Men Who Stare at Goats" has been released and in select theaters now. I fortunately had the opportunity to score a couple cues in the pilot episode of "White Collar" a new USA series. Check em out!
Currently, I'm producing and performing with up and coming artists that'll soon to be taking over the WORLD!!! ;-) But most importantly I'm living and learning and most of all COUNTING MY BLESSINGS everyday! Big up to everyone in the struggle and keep your head up. thanks for stoppin by hope to hear from all of you soon!!
