It wasnt long after Flip picked up the bass
for the first time, that he made up his mind to pursue the life
of a professional musician. The twist to this story is that unlike
most musicians who started playing their instrument at a very young
age, it wasnt until Flip was in college obtaining his degree
in business administration, that he found his real passion in life;
playing the bass guitar.
Flips musical career took off with the inception
of the popular 80s R&B group The Mac Band. Time spent
with this band brought him national airplay with the groups hit
single "Roses are Red" and a featured spot on a nationally
run commercial for McDonalds. From there it was an adventurous
road of world tours with bands such as Atlantic Star, Yarbrough
People and most recently legendary blues artist Lucky Peterson.
Flip is one of the most sought after bass players
in the industry today, but its not just his bass skills that
make him such a great musician. He is also an accomplished singer,
songwriter and producer. He has a unique style about him that adds
flavor and finesse to each performance. These added dimensions to
his already extraordinary bass playing make Flip an extremely vital
member of this musical group.
Aspiring to capture the traits of musical inspirations
Babyface, Roberta Flack, and Luther Vandross, Flip is constantly
striving to become the "Total Artist". Those who are most
familiar with Flip and his talents would certainly say that this
is one goal he has undoubtedly already achieved!
