In the words of Jill Scott “I was born into it, It comes Naturally”.  I became serious about my craft when life happened and I lost everything and was homeless for 11 months.  I learned how my life and my gift were one in the same.  It literally kept me from losing my mind completely and borught me back grom rock bottom.  For most of us it is all we have ever known since birth.  Some people call it a talent, but for the DZB family it’s an eternal calling and a blood covenant that God holds us accountable to help the world see Him.  MUSIC SAVED MY LIFE!

I can remember clear as yesterday when I was 3 years old, listening to a live performance of Beethoven’s Moonlight Sonata, that music brought an emotion out of me that I had no idea I could comprehend at that age. Anyone who knows me knows that I’m a bit obsessive, and might I say a bit religious when it comes to the craft, but I’ve had great instructors and mentors in my upbringing who’ve all shown me one thing, Music is sacred.

As most already know my mother was my biggest musical influence…She kept me in church which is where music started for me… I started playing at my grandmothers church at the age of 10, and that’s when my music journey sort of began, but I wasn’t completely sure that I was going to be as involved with music just yet. I guess you could say music really didn’t find me until I got to school in Chicago at Columbia College which is like a performing arts school. I moved up there not really sure of what I was going to do but as always, I made a bunch of friends and kind of lived through them and their purpose for a while. It wasn’t until my boy Devay (who in my mind was top dog on keys at my school) asked me to play at this church with him in Chicago. He being who he was I was like if buddy think I’m good enough to play with him I must have something! After that, the rest is history, because at that moment I had found my true purposeful identity. I moved back home to STL & told everyone around me I was going to be a full-time musician…and here we are.
