Some of the places we've performed include the Village Van Guard, The Irriidium, and The Blue Note chain from the U.S. I've also performed with Ron Carter from 1987 to 2004, which included extensive tours of the U.S., Japan and Brazil, as well as the well-known NY Jazz scene.

A great influence on me was the great Tommy Lopez, Sr. My brother Bobby and I would practice along with the recordings of these great artists, then, as I progressed, I undertook studying with various music teachers. At this early stage I progressed to playing percussion. With all that diversity and style, I would say most of my musical appreciation began with those early years. Also a great influence on me was the great producer Henry Glover, who lived right on my corner. Right in my neighborhood was Lester Young, Eddie 'Lockjaw' Davis, Count Basie and many more. Then when I would visit my friends, I would listen to all the great Jazz artists. At home I mostly listened to my father’s records, which were Tito Puente, Tito Rodriguez and Machito. At the time, there were many great Jazz and R&B artists living right in our neighborhood. My experience of being raised in Queens was very influential. I was born in Harlem, and lived there until the age of nine. I’ve been a professional musician for the last 50 years.
