He attended church all his life at The Church Of God Of Prophecy of many churches. Kerry received the name “Lil’ Drummer Boy” from his last name, being a drummer and young boy at that age. He created a versatile style of his own for any occasion. In 1988 at the age of 15, Kerry started drumming for other places and for bands, choirs etc. This continued as life went on. He was named one of the most talented drummers in Coatesville, PA. He would just enjoy the love from the public that honor his talent. He was greatly influenced by the great drummers of Lil’ John Roberts, Brian Moore, Rev. Garfield Williams, Joe Shields, Steve Gadd, Dennis Chambers, Dave Weckl & so many others. Growing up in church, Kerry attended State Church Conventions and National Church Conventions as one of the main drummers for The Church Of God Of Prophecy Worldwide. He later on took his talent to another level and started drumming and sharing stages for R&B artists such as Axis, Bryan Parr, Greg Scott (Breakwater), Walt Anderson, Tyra Kirkland Starr, Patti LaBelle - (House Of Blues), CeCe Winans, Twinkie Clarke (The Clarke Sisters) Valerie Simpson of Ashford & Simpson - (Sugar Bar), Kim Waters - (Modified Funk), Point Blank, Philly Destiny Band, Red Alert Band & so many other bands and artists.

My main goal is to keep on expanding my talent. Traveling from place to place making it a successful career. Also to obtain a responsible and challenging position in which I can utilize my talent and abilities with all kinds of music and bands.”
