Born 8/15 in Eastpointe ATL a “Griswold” & raised in the Midwest - at the age of four my mother enrolled me into the study of piano composition and music theory.

By the age of 8, I was sheet reading notations, competing in recitals, and performing intermediate-advanced classical pieces by Mozart, Beethoven, Joplin, Chopin, and many other renowned musicians.

I was labeled a child maestro by many! But as I grew older, I became callous in the world and neglected my antiquated renaissance ability. It was all about Tupac, Biggie, Wu-Tang clan, and making beats. So, I shelved it, hid it, even despised it. Classical piano felt useless to me in the 20th Century.

Fast Fwd -- >>>>>>>>>>>>>> 2005 & 2015 - Manhattan NY & Pasadena CA, I auditioned for a recording contract with the VP of A&R @ Motown Records - Shawn Barron, and A&R Dara Mcintosh @ Atlantic Records, and the outcome was favorable! But, due to various trials at the time, and an uneasy conscious, I couldn't proceed in that direction. So, with 80+ recorded demos, I quit pursuing a hip-hop rap deal to wait for a clearer musical vision (and find my niche.)

That vision manifested in the "summer of 2022" following my mother's death. Immediately succeeding her departure, an unction came over me to make music again! So TODAY, indebted to my mom's investment - it's out of gratitude, homage, a renewed passion for music, and an insatiable desire to reach souls that I blow the dust off the keyboard to fulfill an official music Composer career.
