Description:
Before I was born, my mother and Rick James's mother where best of friends in Buffalo, New York (USA). As I grew up, Rick James's mother used to baby-set me sometimes. So, I got to know the whole family. When Rick James became famous, I was thrown into a Celebrity Lifestyle. I lived with my mother in one of Rick James's houses (in Orchard Park, New York). My mother took care of the house and I hung out with the Band, Security, Production Staff, etc...(the parties where fantastic). Everything went great, until Rick James tried to get out of his contract with Motown Records. Everything fell apart and everybody went their separate ways. I joined the U.S. Army and found myself in Germany.
It was 1986 in Baumholder, Germany and I was a soldier in the U.S. Army (GI). I served 3 years here and then I was sent back to the USA in December of 1989. I later came back to Germany as a soldier in 1996, this time in Heidelberg. There I met and got to know my ex-wife (another long story)! I was sent back to the USA and served there and in Central America (Honduras & Panama). When I got back to the USA, I got out of the Military and came back to Germany to visit my German Girlfriend (my ex-wife), It was Nov. 1998. I have been here in Germany as a civilian ever since then. I received a job from the American Government as a civilian employee on the military bases here in Stuttgart. In 2004, I received a contract as a Project Manager for Telecommunication Projects on the American Military bases throughout Europe. I then found myself in the German Social System and working with Siemens. Everything went well, until President Bush sent all of the money to the war in Iraq. So, there was no more money for Military Projects and I was out of a job.
I decided to stay here in Germany because of another German woman I fell in love with. I then started working Security for Concerts & Special Events here in Stuttgart. I later found out that I was not making enough money to live on. So, I decided to become self-employed. I Chose the Music & Film Industry because songwriting and composing has been a hobby of mine since I was nine years old. I became a member of GEMA and completed a Training Course in Music & Event Management, provided by Baden-Wuerttemberg. Through my training, I developed a very large network of International Recording Artist from around the world and contact with a few Recording Studios here in Stuttgart. Currently,I have 6 CD Releases on the Market, Organizing Live Performances for my Bands & Recording Artists, and signing new acts.
