“I am a soul, living out and enjoying life as a songwriting, storytelling, and performing musician. At best to describe my music is to say it is derives from my own spin of Folk, Rock, Reggae, and added African and Latin influences”… Walt!
Walt is self-taught and started learning to play guitar at the age of nine. The Beatles were my early influence in music. Later in my teens, and to this day, many artists like Jimi Hendrix, Cat Stevens, Bob Dylan, Creedence Clearwater, Sly and The Family Stone, Bob Marley, Stevie Wonder, Parliament and many others entered the picture.
After completing his BS degree, he began his musical pursuits. Coming from a creative family, this seemed natural and a way of life for him.
Through music he has traveled, and enjoyed the opportunity to meet great artists like Carlos Santana, Burning Spear, Taj Mahal and share the stage with bands ranging from Third World to Ziggy Marley.
Walt says… “From backyard house parties, to coffee houses, wine bars, night clubs, and concert stages… it is and incredible feeling to be able to fill the air with music and be part of its marvelous effect on people. I am thankful and grateful to have the support of Family, Friends, Fans, and music… It’s a wonderful life!”
