I began my singing career with The Coats Family Singers in our church’s choir. I was recruited by a local San Francisco Acapella group The Performers and from there I was recruited by Cordial a lively mixed race group who perform throughout California in cities like Reno, Las Vegas and Los Angeles. From there I joined Finesse as a David Ruffin kinda guy. I was then asked to join another touring group called Soul Commitment. My strong, gritty voice earned me a spot in Mr. Bill Withers protege list and he produced my self written songs.
