Over the years, he studied voice under the tutelage of Ms. Veta Worrell, Mr. Ray Mc Dermott, Ms. Cynthia B. Franklyn, Mr. Edward Boatner and Miss Lola Hayes. He was the recipient of a vocal scholarship from Kingsborough Community College and Brooklyn College, receiving a degree in Vocal Music from the latter.

Mr. Slaughter performed at the Marylou Williams Jazz Festival at the world-renowned Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C.

He lives and performs music as the universal language, proven time and time again, for he has taken his stylings to the church, the jazz clubs and to the concert hall with equal dignity and ease.
