“Ready or Not” with its combination of R&B and Neo-Soul is definitely nice on the ears. From the enterlude, which simply says thank you to the first single “Beautiful”, which gives a young lady props for making this young man feel wonderful to “Soul Sista” with its Neo-Soul flavor; this combo is as good as a two-piece at Popeyes. This album has been receiving raves reviews from listeners that love fresh, soulful sounds. Even though R&B/Soul are his main and preferred genres of music; he is being called upon by various artists to write and produce everything from Pop to Hip-Hop.

His Album has peaked at #1 on Billboard’s BTN Charts and has won numerous competitions for his vocal talent.
