Wesley returned to his musical roots following the death of
his former fiancé Sarah Miller Clark who was killed on flight #77 that crashed into the Pentagon on “9/11”.

In addition, his music has been featured on local radio, National Public Radio’s “All Things Considered”, and is available on iTunes, ReverbNation, and YouTube.

Wesley’s song  “In My Arms Tonight” was featured on French TV 3, and China’s Xinhua Network  on the 10th Anniversary of the “9/11” terror attacks. Earlier this year he opened for comedian Sinbad,  and poet Nikki Giovanni in Baltimore.

Wesley’s outdoor concert in June of 2012 drew one of the largest outdoor audiences for “Music in the Mills” and received rave reviews. He is accompanied by percussionist David Baker.

Wesley writes, arranges and performs all original music which includes jazz, classical jazz, Afro-Cuban, Reggae, soul, R&B, salsa, and sacred music.
