After launching his solo career in 2009, the North Carolina-based singer and musician released his debut self-titled album to iTunes in June 2014. He is best recognized for his fusion of jazz instruments, rock rhythm, and blues vocals. His knack for music began at the age of eleven after he began learning to play the guitar. By the time he'd gotten to college at Berklee College of Music, he'd gained a mastery of blues, rock, and even jazz. Following his graduation, he then spent several years working as a full-time musician.
