PROMISE AND FRIENDS

-PEACE

I am originally from Charlotte,NC and that's where I begain my musical trip. I started out playing the lead guitar until my Big Brother Michael C Simpson decided that I needed some help. He came to me one day and said " Hey man, you playing that doggone thang like a bass". The following X-mas he came over to our Family Home with a BASS. Maaaan, that was Santa Claus to me. Now that was when I was 13 or 14. A few years later this same brother(1of5)allowed me to relocate to Oakland,CA in 1979. By 1994 I was introduced to the keyboard through a brother from KC, Mo. Gene Simmons...Thanx Bro. But my ear for music I owe to my brother Victor Simpson. He would have me in the basement in Harvey, Il. and make me listen to certain elements of a song. So naturally, I give Thanks to GOD for my ability to create and produce music
I've traveled quite a bit within the USA. Currently I reside in S.A.,T
where I'm in search of fresh talen
to work with and hopefully assist in getting them launched into the big time...SPOT-LIGHT!
