He was the lead singer of the composition "This Must Be Heaven" and electric fretless bassist of the R&B band Brainstorm.

After leaving Brainstorm in 1978, he recorded two solo albums for CBS Records. He recorded an album with American disco group Niteflyte for Ariola Records. He is a notable bass instructor in the Detroit area, and many have sought his electric bass instruction since the mid-1970s.
