I didn't just jump into being a Music Producer and Singer. I had to work really hard at it. See I was just a musician playing in church with alot of great ideals and People gave me alot of advice. Some of it good advice and some bad, but the bottom line I payed alot of attention. My mother Yvonne Baliey Washington played piano and "SANG"..lol. So alot of what she did was birthed into me, And growning up in a C.O.G.I.C church helps too..lol.. I'm playing alot on my album project and this picture was taken by an oragnization called Rhythm & Reason Camp that I've partner up with to teach music to young kids on my down time.. I love working with kids, And yes! I still play in my Timberland Boots..lol..
