Coming soon to an iPod near you!
The video above is an example of some of my work as lead vocalist in a national television commerical.

My father allowed me to play his entire record collection on the living room hi-fi when I was two and half years old. I accomplished this by climbing up the front of it, using the horizontal wooden slats that were part of its decorative speaker housing, as if it were a ladder.
I would select my favorite record, tuck it under my arm and then climb half way up the record player until I could reach the turntable compartment. I would then open the lid, plop the record on to the platter, throw the on switch and clumsily drop the stylus onto the spinning record. Ca-chunk! The inside of the wood cabinet always smelled of musty oak and furniture polish.
The record would start to play, I would climb back down, and invariable the record would skip a few times before I had both feet back on the ground. I would then sit cross-legged on the floor as close to the loud speaker as possible, enveloped and immersed in the music.
I had only one goal; to somehow merge completely with the music. This was my magnificent obsession: How do I get inside that box? In one way or another I've been answering that question ever since
