My early music history

My 1st stage performance began at the age of four in the Caribbean Island of

Dominica and that was the start of my musical journey. Music became a discipline in our family life, enforce upon us by our grandfather who was the district church organist. My grandfather had sixteen children and over seventy grandchildren. At least 30% of his generation became involved in music at some point in their lives playing instruments or singing. The guitar was the choice of instrument for many of us since it was more accessible and cheaper to buy. Sometimes we would build our guitars from wood and nylon strings. Like many of my older relatives, I also started to play the guitar at age twelve followed by the piano at age thirteen and have continue until today.
