I was born in San Francisco, CA and raised in Vallejo, CA. I am the younger of two siblings. I truly love God, because I understand that without “God” I can do nothing.
I trust him and believe that the gift of playing guitar is truly that a “gift” from God. I began to play the bass guitar at age 13 under the instruction of my father Sam Turner, whom I admire and love and believe he is one of the best guitar players God has appointed.
I began playing in the Church of God in Christ under the pastorialship of Elder B.T. Turner. Although I was a young man I knew “God” had a work for me to do, so I would practice basically everyday and play in church every Sunday, it was not always easy because disciplining myself to practice did not come natural, however, dedication helped me to heed to the call of God!
Some of my influences are: My Pops (Sam Turner), Derrick DOA Allen, Eric Smith, Victor Wooten, Marcus Miller, Stanley Clark, Jaco Pastorius, Maurice Fitzgerald, Joel Smith, Pino Palladino and a host of others.
Instruments I play: Fender Geddy Lee, Jaaa Bass , Lakeland Five String Bass, Amp eg 210 combo Amp
“As I continue on this journey of playing my bass guitar for God I have realized that it is not being the best but it is being God’s best that counts.
