If you're reading this than you are privy to the next step of my career journey. I officially am launching a cd of my own original works entitled "Simply Solo."
It's not a huge project but it is the first time that I am doing something completely different than what most of my friends and fans have seen.

It's not blues, it's not soul  but a little bit of everything and it's a personal goal that I feel I'm achieving.

"Simply Solo," will soon be available online so you can have a listen wherever you go. I hope you can enjoy and listen to the my personal "carbon print" on this musical journey!
