It sounds crazy, but God gives me songs when I wash dishes.

Who would you most like to collaborate with?

Not sure.

In the works considering our current social situation.

How do you feel the Internet has impacted the music business?

It has weakened the ability to make a modest living & has made it convoluted by saturating it with clutter thus blocking out the sun.

Donn Thomas, Andrae Crouch, Bobby Caldwell, Peabo Bryson, Luther Vandross, Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., Kevon Edmonds, Gavin Christopher, Gary Oliver...just to name a few.

What is the most trouble you’ve ever gotten into?

Not giving my mother all her change back after going to the store and lying about it...didn't end well for me.

What is the best advice you’ve been given?

Get a lawyer to read the CONTRACT!!!!!
