Born and raised in Detroit, MI Taron’s mother and other relatives knew that God has given him the gift and passion to be a musician. Banging on anything that can make a sound he was given his first drum set before he even started kindergarten. Once Taron started attending Clara Barton elementary school he was in the glee club singing tenor and taking a Recorder class. It wasn’t until Taron attended Spain Middle School that his Musical Gifts Started To Flourish. Playing trombone under the teaching and instruction of Mrs. Victoria Miller he was able to start seeing some of the gifts (song arrangement and perfect pitch) that God has put in him through the marching band, concert and jazz band. From there Taron Attended The Detroit School of Arts under the teaching and instruction of Mr. Edward Quick. Mr. Quick’s guidance and freedom to let him exercise his gifts caused him to become much more passionate about music. In the summer of 1995 Taron and his brother moved to Norwalk, CT to stay with his father and step-mother because of some of the trouble that was surrounding their neighborhood. Because of the difference of the marching styles Taron was very strong about not being in the band program at Norwalk High School. But his father talked him out of it and he is very glad he did. It was there under the teaching and instruction of Mr. Jeffrey Smith that he Learned The Bass Guitar, Piano, Hard Work and responsibility. Taking what he learned back to Detroit it was in his senior year of high school that he started his first band playing the bass guitar. After playing many clubs and venues it wasn’t until 2001 that after a friend (Larry Clark) had a bible study with him and a choice to make, Taron gave his life to Jesus Christ. From there is when God began to reveal to Taron his calling and the true purpose of what his gifts are to be used for, kingdom work!

Currently he has been blessed to finish his first Christian Jazz solo project “From God … To Me (Vol.1)" and Has Played Bass Guitar on Twinkie Clark’s “With Humility” And Her Recent Project “Live and Unplugged”.
