Hey Y'all!!! What's up?
Welcome to my new site. I am very excited to have FINALLY got
this thing up and running after so many requests...YES, people have requested me to start up a site, and I very happy about
it.
I will try to keep you all updates about things going
on with me on my road to Musical happiness, while trying to share the Gift that God allowed me to have, and share with the
rest of the World.
I also hope to have interesting topics to share, and maybe
enlighten you on as things progress... from Musical taste in Instruments, to Live entertainment, to where I'll be performing
at in the future.
Unlike other sites, I'm going to try to keep you updated as
much as possible about upcomuing gigs, and things as I find out more about how to work this thing. Yes, you all are a part
of History...as I grow, YOU grow with me. And, you get in from the very Beginning, as I upstart this webpage on myself, and
my journey(s). Once again, Thanks for coming by, and please... Enjoy yourself!!! Don't forget to sign it, so that
I know who dropped by. We can't keep in touch, if I don't know who's who, and what's what.
Sincerely. KT

You probably already know that I'm a professional Musician. (Of over 30 years...)
I am originally from Chicago, IL. (Windy City, City of Broad Shoulders, etc...)
I am the "Baby Boy" of my family, with 2 older sisters, 1 older Brother, and 1 Younger sister. My Family is still in
Chicago, along with all of my nieces and nephews. Except for my son, KT2, who is in College at the present time.
I left Chicago when I turned 17 to travel, moving to Minneapolis, MN in 1980, and travelled till 1982, whereafter I then
moved to Oklahoma City, OK.
I moved back to Chi., in 1983, and then worked all over Chicago as a Freelance Musician, as well as at the most popular
retailer for Musicial Instruments: Guitar Center.
While selling guitars, and stuff, I eventually left GC to go on tour with the Staples Singers fo about 1 year, after
which I then moved to Las Vegas.
I worked all of the major casions there, and eventually got married. This marriage not lasting long, I then moved up
to Reno, NV to do a Showroom gig... American Superstars... (Maybe you've seen it). While that was a fantastic time, I then
moved to Berkeley, CA to help tend to my uncle, who had just had some minor surgery. While kicking about in the Bay area,
I got a call to come back to Vegas, since I could get no work in the Bay area. I ended up staying there for about 7 years,
eventually hooking up with Peak recording atrist, Paul Taylor; with whom I work now...
I finally decided to give LA a try, so here I am, as of September, 2003, trying to make a go of it here. I love the climate,
(though not enough Sunlight for me at times) and the Weather here is quite interesting.
As I mentioned earlier, I am working with Paul Taylor, and am about to do some touring with other artists as well. So,
wish me Luck, as I embark upon this new journey in my life. See my other pages for more information in the upcoming days...
Born and raised in Chicago, IL
on March 3rd, 1961...
Elemtary School: Daniel J. Corkery
High School: (2)
1) David Glasgow Farragut... home of Kevin Garnett, and Pat Sajak to name a few...
2) CCA Academy H.S.Home of the CCA Tigers... First Valedictorian---1979...
My hobbies: Hmmm... Cars, Golf, B-Ball, Baseball
My Loves: My God, My Family, and my Music... in THAT ORDER

What a job!
I'm a Professional Musician. I travel far and near all over this
beautiful country of ours, and sometimes abroad. I meet fascinating new and exciting people (sometimes), and get to do something
I love---play Music!
And, every now and then, I get to take my Golf clubs with me...
I tour with Peak recording artist, Paul Taylor, and am about to do some
touring with Smooth Jazz Guitarist, Steve Oliver. I am looking forward to a great musical experience this year, working with
some of the finest Musicians in the World!!!
