This article has two problems, notability and tone. It does not satisfy musical notability criteria or general notability. Google search shows that he exists, and finds non-independent sources, but does not find independent sources.

This draft was written to praise its subject rather than to describe him neutrally. If he warranted an article, it would need to be scrubbed and rewritten, but that isn't necessary.

Deleted in January 2019 by expired PROD, but re-instated with this page (and a draft). Robert McClenon (talk) 05:01, 6 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Obvious WP:PROMO by somebody or other. WP:TNT looks like best solution if, by some chance, this is actually a notable musician. ☆ Bri (talk) 00:21, 11 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
