I was born and raised in Kingston, Jamaica. At the age of 17, I found my brother-in-law's bass guitar and taught myself a few bass lines by the next morning. From there my passion for bass and music in general grew.

After college, he began to seriously consider a career in music. I studied visual arts, jazz theory, and bass at the Edna Manley College of the Visual and Performing Arts in Kingston, Jamaica. During my studies, my influences included playing in various bands such as the Javier Latin Jazz Band, the Jill Gibson Trio, and the Kathy Brown Band.
I toured all over Jamaica.

During my final year of college, I started my own band called Airplai®. For the next four years, I devoted myself to the Airplai® Band. Then I was approached by Zijam Studios to audition for their band, The Jolly Boys. This was no easy task, as I needed to learn to play the banjo. I arrived early for the audition and taught myself how to play the banjo in three hours with the help of Mr. Google. Over the next year, I toured Europe, the Caribbean, and the Middle East with the Jolly Boys. While with the Jolly Boys, I produced, co-wrote, composed, and collaborated on the "Quantum Reggae" album project.
For the Quantum Reggae album project, I collaborated with songwriter Jim Belleau and musician/singer/songwriter Maroghini.

I am the owner and founder of Airplai® Productions, where I produce albums, compose, arrange, edit videos, film music, jingles, and more.
ギター、アップライトベース、ピアノ、ギター、ドラム、パーカッション、ウクレレなど。2013年、あるエージェントにオンラインで見いだされ、ソロ・ベーシスト／ギタリストとしてクルーズ船で演奏することになりました。2019年の初めまでクルーズ船で働いていました。 That year my wife and I settled in Canada and started a family.

Since settling permanently in Canada, I have refocused my attention on music production and composition under my own company, Airplai Productions. I continue to perform locally and teach music/music production.
In 2014, he released his first solo album, Just Passing Through, on the Airplai® Productions label. This project was 10 years in the making. His second album, Feel Brand New, was released in late 2016. His latest album, Early Days, was released in the summer of 2018.
I am very excited to announce that my fourth album is currently in the works and will be available soon! All of my albums are available for download now on iTunes, GooglePlay, and Amazon.
My passion for music is only growing and I'm curious to see where it goes from here!
