During his recovery journey, he met his wonderful wife, Amanda who became his best friend, caretaker, and later his forever-y-thing. She helped him in ways unimaginable and encouraged him to keep moving.Eventually, Mr. Carlton re-gained use of his leg and began to play again for his Church and surrounding areas sharing his testimony of how God preserved his gift! His Vision for Flam Tap Studio was birthed out of the desire to train and teach the younger generation to use their gift forKingdom Building! He passionately encourages musicians to shine bright wherever they go in the world; to be a beacon of hope, and to continue to grow in their musicianship! Being a Drummer has opened so many doors and opportunities for Mr. Carlton. He believes strongly that it will do the same for others as well.
