Haggins has worked and recorded with many artists while also working in the network television industry for NBC, ABC, CBS. His sound combines funk and smooth jazz, having been inspired by Stanley Clarke, Isley Brothers, George Duke, and Earth Wind & Fire.
His debut album was Daybreak followed by Traffic.[1] In 2011 he released a new single "In Your Lifetime". Haggins records on the independent label Cuate Records.
Haggins got his first guitar at age 8 for Christmas and played the alto saxophone in his school band when he was 11. He eventually studied jazz at Pasadena City College and went on to major in communications at California State University, Long Beach, with a focus on radio/television. He had also worked with network television for some time, editing shows like The Cosby Show and Dr. Phil. He played with some local bands until deciding in the early 2000s to pursue his music career, after being encouraged by his uncle, Al Duncan.
