About Me:
 
I have been involved in music since I was 14 years old. I had the honor of being the top music student at the time in East Africa.
I have pursued music and business studies in the US and currently am the MD at a large church in Los Angeles
I have produced or co-produced 20 albums most of them in the Gospel, sacred and contemporary Christian genre.
I have also had the opportunity to work with many acclaimed artists and producers including 3 time Grammy winner Phil Naish, Caleb Quaye (of Elton John's Band) and others. My love for Soukous also began at the time I started playing guitar during my early teens. I was fascinated by the rhythmic complexity and yet Graceful form it had. In music school I often thought ..:"If people could see all this tabulated and scored it would be amazing". ..That is why I am committed to sharing the wonders of this great African Genre with the world..
Country:
United States
Interests:
My Faith, Music, Technology, I am a Christian who likes to share with others about my passion for God and for music.

@saleta M. Saleta Désolé si mon français est pauvre, je me sers d'un programme de traduction
Oui je utiliser à la fois une Fender Stratocaster américaine et un amplificateur Fender Deluxe. En ce qui concerne les autres guitares .. je utiliser une acoustique Martin 000-28EC (modèle Eric Clapton Signature) J'ai aussi joué un Yamaha acoustique cordes nylon cutaway ... Pour électriques j'utilise principalement une Fender
