I’ve enjoyed working with Chaka Khan, Prince, and George Duke, to name a few. I am currently working on a classical flute project as well. I don’t like to confine myself to one category. As an artist I enjoy many kinds of music and have been blessed to work with so many great people.RG: Where does your inspiration come from?N: My inspiration comes from a desire to grow and find new material that stimulates myself and my audience musically.
