It was there where he got to perform and study under Temple University Jazz Director Terrell Stafford and Julliard School of Music Professor Loren Schoenberg. In 2006 his second solo release “Don’t Look Back” earned him strong accreditation from JazzReview.com and made him a household name. The hit track “Dreaming” was on the top of the charts in Europe and Asia for over 12 weeks and really had an impact on the sales of this album.
