I started conducting choirs/ensembles when I was 10 yrs. old. Started writing and arranging songs in my basement, and was a drum major in my high school marching band. Who knew that it would one day take me to the Grammys! Thank you @fox32chicago for sitting down with your boy✌🏾Full interview in my bio.

Restart, by @jacobjonasthecompany, considers the psychological aftermath of illness—making sense of life and death, light and darkness, and everything in between. And all the guests along the way. Restart is about soil: found often for construction, during death to bury one’s flesh into the earth, or in a garden to bring new seeds to life. This questions if one can begin again and re-enter into their deepest humanity. If the question of what happened could be answered and the wounds it left could be healed.

So honored to be the choral conductor and creative producer for this show. Catch us in our final show this Sunday at @broadstage_sm! Tickets on sale now!

[ DECADE ]

November 2025 made 10 years since I moved from Chicago to LA. Swipe/Read for the journey🌪️

2015 — 22 years old. Fresh college grad. Joined @p.e.a.c.e.band . Moved to LA with @calvinmartinjr on a $41 one-way with less than $2K saved. Living room was my bedroom, no car, no furniture, no WiFi. Dream: sing background and travel the world. Ephesians 3:20.

2016 — Reality check. Odd jobs, open mics, nonstop networking—on foot and public transit. Booked first TV gigs (AGT, Latin AMAs). Finally got a bed.🛌

2017 — Self-built artist development era. “Sing like it’s your last time.” Launched Live[NOW], hosted vocal masterclasses, started a scholarship. First artist gigs (@kennylattimore , @ddlovato). Quit my job, produced a Disneyland show, got a car.🚘

2018 — Vision board year. Coachella with @beyonce → OTR II World Tour. Global travel, albums, The Lion King, Homecoming, Black Is King.

2019 — Sunday Service Collective. Creative team, global impact, IMAX film, multiple albums. Composed/conducted 3 operas. First national commercial.

2020 — Released my first single. The world shut down.

2021 — Went all-in as an artist. Second single, better visuals, dance training. More vocal production and contracting.

2022 — Grammy performance with @johnlegend. House band gigs, my own shows, touring and creative producing.

2023 — Vocal produced Lizzo’s Grammy choir. Chose the path of producing and directing big moments.

2024 — House band at NAACP Image Awards & full season of @americanidol. Toured with Hans Zimmer Live. Produced for @dojacat (Tonight Show, Scarlet Tour).

2025 — @kendricklamar Super Bowl tribute (4M+ views). Vocal producing/contracting for major albums, @zacbrownband Sphere residency, @spitfireaudio vocal sample pack. Grateful for 9 Grammy-nominated projects in 10 years.

November 2025 made 10 years since I moved from Chicago to LA. Swipe/Read for the journey🌪️

2015 — 22 years old. Fresh college grad. Joined @p.e.a.c.e.band . Moved to LA with @calvinmartinjr on a $41 one-way with less than $2K saved. Living room was my bedroom, no car, no furniture, no WiFi. Dream: sing background and travel the world. Ephesians 3:20.

2016 — Reality check. Odd jobs, open mics, nonstop networking—on foot and public transit. Booked first TV gigs (AGT, Latin AMAs). Finally got a bed.🛌

2017 — Self-built artist development era. “Sing like it’s your last time.” Launched Live[NOW], hosted vocal masterclasses, started a scholarship. First artist gigs (@kennylattimore , @ddlovato). Quit my job, produced a Disneyland show, got a car.🚘

2018 — Vision board year. Coachella with @beyonce → OTR II World Tour. Global travel, albums, The Lion King, Homecoming, Black Is King.

2019 — Sunday Service Collective. Creative team, global impact, IMAX film, multiple albums. Composed/conducted 3 operas. First national commercial.

2020 — Released my first single. The world shut down.

2021 — Went all-in as an artist. Second single, better visuals, dance training. More vocal production and contracting.

2022 — Grammy performance with @johnlegend. House band gigs, my own shows, touring and creative producing.

2023 — Vocal produced Lizzo’s Grammy choir. Chose the path of producing and directing big moments.

2024 — House band at NAACP Image Awards & full season of @americanidol. Toured with Hans Zimmer Live. Produced for @dojacat (Tonight Show, Scarlet Tour).

2025 — @kendricklamar Super Bowl tribute (4M+ views). Vocal producing/contracting for major albums, @zacbrownband Sphere residency, @spitfireaudio vocal sample pack. Grateful for 9 Grammy-nominated projects in 10 years.
