Dubbed The Busiest Man In Show Business By His Peers...
- The TimesDaily -
So, the title above is flattering, but I really just love what I do. I play music and keep people in the present for a few hours while they sing and dance along. I do keep myself busy when not on stage working in the music industry. I contract as a Site Operations manager at major festivals, handle day of show details for venues across the Southeast when they have sold out shows, and even produce shows from time to time. Remember the old phrase "Jack Of All Trades," well, that's kind of me in the entertainment world. I've worked as a runner, audio engineer, lighting tech, stage hand, rigger, fork op, and almost any other job that you find during a concert. My work and my music has led me to working with artists like Kid Rock, Patti Labelle, Charlie Daniels, Kris Kristofferson, Kacey Musgraves, Yung Gravy, Waka Flocka, Three Six Mafia, Rich The Kid, B.O.B., Natalie Jane, Disturbed, All Time Low, Redferrin, Dylan Marlow, Thomas Rhett, Nelly, Chris Lane... the list could go on for days. The thing is, music is my passion. Curating a successful event is my Roman empire. Combine the two and you have an artist who cares more about the overall success of events and the crowds entertainment, than the clout of being on stage. Feel free to reach out to my management team and myself to discuss how I can make your next event a success! Until then, feel free to stream my music on all major streaming platforms then check out mixes I've made on both Soundcloud and Mixcloud.
