I provide various music services for clients across the DFW area. I provide musician,songwriting,arranging,production and audio engineering services as needed on a contract basis.This company has also provided services to churches in the capacity of Minister of Music and musician services.

As a copywriter for CheMinistry, I composed web copy for the website and all social media postings on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. I doubled as social media manager and contributed to the growth of the social channels for the short time under which I was contracted by CheMinistry. During my tenure, the company developed a television show and I wrote episode descriptions for the episodes airing on the Fox Soul network. During our first season, we reached #1 on Fox Soul, an accomplishment I take great pride in. Because of my experience as working press at events, I served as blue carpet manager for two tapings of the CheMinistry show. I facilitated interviews and managed blue carpet arrivals and exits. Before the contract abruptly ended, I helped Chanel Scott write her debut release, "Relationship Matters" which can be purchased at online book retailers. The tasks included in this role were: copywriting, social media management, and ghostwriting.

I examiner Fort Worth Churches and Plano Gospel Music. In my column, I have been recognized and have received numerous top ratings for various articles. I have been chosen to cover upcoming events in the area ranging from the Super Bowl Gospel Celebration to this year's How Sweet the Sound in Grand Praire. A few of my articles have matriculated through various internet destinations both good and bad, but the greatest surprise came when my article about suicide was posted to the worldnews.com.

I was here for a brief stint. During my time, I led the church in renovating the sound system. I purchased new mics and was in talks with a Murphy representative to order new robes for the choir. The choir was pretty much established once I got there, but I began to work on modernizing their sound. Once it was proven that the combination of myself and the choir wasn't fit, I resigned from the post of Minister of Music.At the time of my departure, a music conference was in the works and robe samples were being shipped. Regrettably, the choir never saw the samples and they were returned to Murphy Robes. Because of the increasing difficulty attaining cooperation with the choir, I made the suggestion(one that I believe the Pastor took to heart) to elevate the current choir director to the post of Minister of Music.

I returned to the Saints Chapel Church(see post below) after being gone many years. What was in some areas was a continuation, in other areas became a rebuilding project. I was here carrying much of the same duties as before but also began volunteering with the children. I finished up my education while again serving here. The church became much busier and the music ministry performed at many events including a bi-monthly feeding where the praise team was featured. Many of them were outside(weather permitting) so the music ministry had the opportunity to broadcast to the neighborhoods nearby. After three years it became clear that my season was up and I moved on.

I played with the Glory Gospel Singers across 5 European countries. We sang in large cathedrals, townhalls, and modern churches. As musician with the GGS, I accompanied the small group and occasionally assisted with setup of the sound system. Much was to be learned, as the European church music culture is much more different than ours here at home. Even a little amplification was too much. We were learning in real time, making adjustments throughout each show. Each show with GGS was different with each crowd, we had to adapt to the atmosphere of not only the church(acoustically) but the audience and their involvement/lack of involvement. We also learned as performers to give our best because over there we represented our entire race and country! The Glory Gospel Singers have been a staple among African-American gospel choirs in Europe and continue to tour in Europe and other countries/continents.

Over the span of about three years, I played on the musical staff at Faith Word Bible Fellowship. In 2005, I began as the drummer, I'd grown up there playing drums but returned in 2005 as the drummer. I toured Europe in 2006 and returned to duties that included drums and playing organ/keys. After leaving to tour again in 2007, I returned to similar duties. When I returned after my final tour, I was led to part with the ministry and venture to a new ministry.

I was the Minister of Music for this small congregation in Fort Worth. I was in charge of all music during the worship service and all choirs. The membership grew to its largest numbers and various styles and songs had to be implemented to accommodate the growth encompassing 5 generations!During this time, the church regularly used the African-American Heritage Hymnal and selections were chosen for inclusion in the weekly worship services. While here, I played both the Hammond organ and a baby grand piano during weekly worship services.

At the Saints Chapel Church I was the Minister of Music, in charge of all music,choirs, and rehearsals. While there, I blended their worship style to better fit the influx of young people and the stalwart,founding members. Worship each Sunday ranged from "Old 100's" to the most contemporary songs new to the gospel industry. While there, we were able to host annual musicals which brought in the likes of Tamela Mann, LaTonja Blair and Terri Pace. The church grew and so did the music ministry. Having both a praise team, choir and youth choir, the church began to achieve small notoriety for its excellence in music ministry. I was able to host a music ministry conference that brought together a number of churches throughout the city. At the close of the conference, attendance awards were given and attendees were able to use the certificate toward "continued education"/volunteer credit. At the time of my departure the sound system, drum set and music ministry had all been overhauled. Another,final renovation to the sound system was made in 2007.
