Transcript of ENGLISH VERSION
Born and raised in Miami Florida, the son of a local church
minister, had an early introduction
into the world of music. Within the church he began singing
and taught himself to play the piano, guitar, bass and drums.
His first public performance was at the age of three, and from
it, a lifetime of touching hearts through music sprouted.
By the age of 14, had become choir director and
minister of music, exhibiting a unique understanding of the
technical side of musical expression as well as vocal harmoni-
zation. At the age of 17, recorded his first album as
part of a gospel choir. He then traveled with choirs throughout
the United States singing with and opening for famous gospel
performers such as Andrae Crouch, The Hawkins Family, The
Winans, Shirley Cesar, Candi Staton, James Cleveland, Milton
Biggham and more.
After years of working in gospel music as an artist, producer,
and promoter, made the transition
to secular with Pop and Soul. He was immediately success-
ful, performing with, presenting or representing great artists
such as the late Maestro Barry White, En Vogue, Family Stand,
Michael Cooper, The O’Jays, The Temptations, Levert, and
others. He co-founded a record label (Tashari Records), pro-
ducing a recording with female trio “C’est La Vie”.
In 1984, was invited by Barry Smith
and Papa Jessie Ferguson to join the internationally re-
nowned group “The Platters”. Now a veteran member of The
Platters for over 20 years, has traveled the world and
performed with a multitude of internationally famous artists
and appeared in internationally and nationally televised
programs. He has entertained a wide genre of people, and
by virtue of his linguistic skills and performing, at will, in both
English and Spanish, he has become a true cross-cultural en-
tertainer.
