About


A personal note from me...
My mission is that I want to build a catalog of music...70 songs over the next year. I want to get some sync music placements, and I want to retire my wife from teaching. The stuff that's going on in the classroom is unprecedented and difficult, and I hate to see her come home exhausted, overworked, and unerpaid. I want to build a catalog of music for you to enjoy, and that I can eventually make some residual income from the art I've come to love. I've been doing music now for 37 years.
I served in the United States Navy and retired from a 23 year career as an Electrical Engineer. I got better at producing music while I was in the Navy deployed. I had a small Yamaha keyboard and I used to "make beats" with it with some friends. We used to put the songs on cassette tapes and let our friends hear them. I started buying some music equipment and eventually started producing and recording music.
I started learning my music chops from playing in church. I learned to play piano by ear, and ever since then I had the music bug. My brothers and I started touring as a gospel music group for several years, with me writing, producing and mixing our records. I NEVER thought about doing anything solo.
I currently work in the private electrical industry as an automation engineer for an electric company. I love music but it don't pay the bills right now.
Join me on this journey of trying to create a 70 song catalog by counting down with me to the goal. I don't know if I'll make it, but we sure can try. I've added a counter below to help monitor where I'm at for the year.

Artist Origin
Born and raised on the South Side of Houston, this Christian artist, producer, and songwriter creates music at the intersection of faith and soul. Blending neo-soul, R&B, lo-fi hip-hop, and urban gospel, his sound lives where Lecrae meets Mali Music—warm, reflective, and deeply rooted in real life and belief.
He began playing piano by ear at just 7 years old, never formally trained, letting feel and instinct shape his sound. By his mid-teens, he was writing, producing, and recording his own music, eventually building a home studio and learning every step of the process—from engineering to mixing.
As the founder of Beast the Beats Music Production, he produces for other artists while continuing to develop his own catalog. In recent years, he has also written, produced, recorded, released and performed on multiple gospel albums with a band he collaborates with closely. He executive produces albums for his Gospel Band New Generation, comprised of his 3 brothers and his mother.
This is his solo outing of music he's been wanting to release with his own flavor. His music is soulful, and designed to inspire...bridging culture, creativity, and Christ.
