Being the youngest of the group in no way phased him because each of them had their own special gifts, his was writing. His first Cd was with his brothers birthed the iconic and signature song of Maylay Entertainment “Hometown”. Eventually he would branch out on his own and release his own CD’s “Element for President” & “Music is my Savior”. Life as it would detoured him a bit by having the responsibility of providing for his family. Music would have to take a back seat for a while, but it would always tug at his heart. After a few life altering events, one being the death of his father he felt it was time to get back to the music, after all it was his savior. He felt he had a lot more wisdom and understanding of this thing called life. It had dealt him an early pair of working man hands, lessons on who and what’s important and the overall disappointment, of how people can lead you wrong mentally and physically.
