About Blues Buddha

    Everyone has their time and we all travel different roads to get where we have to go. Music has always been a passion for me. I've had it in my heart and soul, but because of challenges and struggles in my life, I moved away from it. About ten years ago I went through a very tough time with someone close to me. I spent most of my days in hospitals and doctor's offices, and at night I decided to spend my time singing in studios and at jams sessions. Singing became my means to cope with my pain and frustrations and I believe it kept me centered and saved my life. I wasn't into the Blues at that time. I was always into R&B, Soul and Rock, but whereever I went, people wanted me to sing the Blues. When I sang, the Blues just poured out of me. Nothing ever felt so natural. One night I walked into a bar and someone yelled, "It's the Buddha of Blues!" and the rest is history.
    Since then I have been a devoted student of the Blues listening to, learning from, and playing with some of the best players in New York and around the country. I bring my R&B, Soul and Rock gumbo to the Blues and make it my own.
    In January of 2009, I got together with Scott Staton of Stoopid Daddy Records and we began writing seven original tunes for this new project. We then collaborated with Denny Leroux of Storm of the Century Music for the final three songs. Over this past year, we recorded with Larry Alexander at his studio, with a group of super talented musicians and produced a new CD called, "I Like It A Lot". Just completed, it's time to share our original sounds with everyone. I'm very proud of it and I hope you enjoy it too.
    Although I am not a Buddhist, I believe that the Buddha's concept is an important part of my music. It's all about an awaking of the Spirit. The Blues Buddha brings that message to the Blues. So let me lift your Spirit and Rock your Rooster. Join my journey and share my Blues.
