Walter's journey into international smooth jazz began with his catchy debut, "Ain't No Sushi When She's Gone," produced by Grammy-nominated Nate Harasim. This track, featuring guitar legend Nils and saxophonist Phil Denny, quickly gained traction on Smoothjazz.com and landed on the Smoothjazz.net Top 100 chart.
