Although born in Glendale, California, I discovered my talents and love for percussion in Lewisville, TX. At a young age, my grandmother influenced me to play the piano, which eventually led to my interest in the keyboard. Attending church on a regular basis, I became intrigued by the drummer in the church band. Since the church already had a drummer, I took the initiative to purchase my first Timbales Drum Set and taught myself how to play them in a not so traditional way.
As I continued to perfect my craft, I continued to challenge myself to play in the most unique ways. As I gained more experience and notoriety, I realized that branding myself was necessary.
In 2010, I launched my business brand known as Ice Water Percussion. My skill set has allowed me to perform with celebrities and in venues with large, diverse crowds. I am glad you stopped by to visit my website and feel free to send me a message via the Contact Page.
