I RECEIVED CLASSICAL TRAINING AT NEWBERRY COLLEGE, AND MIRA COSTA COLLEGE AS A VOCAL PERFORMANCE MAJOR WITH AN EMPHASIS IN MUSICAL THEATRE. SINCE ARRIVING HERE IN CALIFORNIA IN THE EARLY EIGHTIES, I HAVE HAD THE PLEASURE OF SHARING THE STAGE WITH SOME OF THE BIGGEST NAMES IN THE BUSINESS AT THAT TIME: BOBBY WOMACK, SHIRLEY MURDOCK, ZAPP FEATURING ROGER TROUTMAN, GAP BAND, BRUCE WILLIS, BILLY VERA AND THE BEATERS, CHRIS CRISTOPHERSON, KOOL AND THE GANG, CAMEO, THE WHISPERS, NAJEE, RICK JAMES, KENNY G, CURTIS BLOW, TAVARES, THE DELPHONICS, TOMMY DAVISON OF "IN LIVING COLOR", AND MOST RECENTLY, THE LEGENDARY STEVIE WONDER AT THE NOKIA THEATRE IN LOS ANGELES.
SOME OF MY MUSIC INDUSTRY HIGHLIGHTS:

KEEP DOING WHAT YOU LOVE AND IN THE MEAN TIME, I WISH ALL OF YOU WELL IN THOSE FUTURE ENDEAVORS. (WHAT EVER THEY MAY BE)
GOD SPEED TO ALL OF YOU GRINDERS STILL HITTING THE TRENCHES THAT IS THE MUSIC INDUSTRY.
RESPECTFULLY:
