I started my professional career working with renowned Caribbean artist Chris Cozier creating soundtracks for his video art and also for his productions for radio and television locally and abroad. My most accomplished work to date with Chris, is as the voice on a production called Sound System which has received
much critical acclaim and has been shown in major art galleries in Norway, Spain, United States and Canada.

My work has been documented in magazines and books locally as well as the internationally, BBC Radio and the London Telegraph as well.

Most recently our video which was created by well known international Animator and Street Artist Wendell Mc Shine is on display in Rock Stone and Bootheel exhibit at Real Art Ways in Hartford Ct. www.realartways.org. One Of the oldest galleries in the U.S. for contemporary art.
