The album featured guest performances from Sheryl Crow, Sting, Herbie Hancock, Taj Mahal, Branford Marsalis, Roscoe Lee Brown and Mother's Finest. Vinx toured for 13 months with Sting's "Soul Cages" tour as the solo opening act and the percussionist/background vocalist. During his career Vinx released 10 CD.

Vinx released his third CD, The Storyteller, which featured Stevie Wonder, George Howard, Cassandra Wilson and Omar. Vinx toured the world and recorded on Cassandra Wilson's award winning CD Blue Light Til Dawn (1993).

"There is sometimes complexity in Vinx's simplicity...Vinx is a singer and percussionist, arranger and producer who calls his music "primal pop". Vinx is a harmonious baritone vocalist with range, charisma, tounge-in-cheek humor and a fiery passion..." THE WASHINGTON POST
