As a mentee of Grammy® winning producers Kevin Bond and Percy Bady, this sought after vocalist has sung with Kenny Lewis and One Voice, Dewayne Woods, San Franklin and is a member of multi-Stellar Award winning group, JJ Hairston and Youthful Praise.“I am honored that God has allowed me to serve Him and His people!
