“As a kid I was always surrounded with the music of the Puerto Rican and African American communities in my neighborhood.  And the songs and stories of my Irish heritage were always shared  at Grandma’s.  My ears were filled with sounds, rhythms and beats.  Then my mom went to country music and my house was filled with Gene Autry, Roy Rogers and Dale Evans.  Then I knew what I wanted to be a part of from then on.”
