At age eleven he played in his uncle's blues organ trio, which laid the groundwork, discipline, and training for working with such acts as Kenny Loggins, Richard Marx, and Tower Of Power. Herman's ability to stop, look, and listen has put him in demand with artists around the world.Born and raised in Houston, Texas, Herman headed west to Los Angeles in 1988.
