The first, which was self-titled, was issued by Sugartown Records in 1999. Blowin' Like a Hurricane followed. The multi-instrumentalist demonstrated his musical talent at a young age. When he was six years old, he took up the drums. A variety of other instruments followed, among them the accordion, guitar, fiddle, bass guitar, steel guitar, and piano. The energetic style he has honed with Louisiana Beat, his backing band, mainly revolves around traditional Cajun music, with the addition of elements from zydeco, R&B, rock & roll, country, and swamp pop. ~ Linda Seida
