Born in Santa Cruz, Ca, two years later the parents decided to move back to the place of my conception,( The third floor of the Mapes hotel and casino in lovely Reno, Nv.) Needless to say, since then I have always been very comfortable in Hotels. My father was a merchant seaman, My mother(rest her soul) was a Hard working waitress, named Alice Faye. Dad from Sanfrancisco, mom from South Carolina! You can say I had a very interesting childhood. Dad was always away on a boat, Mom was doing what she needed to cope. Out of all of the crazyness, I can say I learned something from everyone I met along the way. When I was 8 years old, We moved next to a musician named Carlos Salvatore. I believe he had a weekly gig in the caberet at Harrahs Hotel and casino. One day he stopped me on the way out, and told me he heard me singing, through the paper thin motel walls, and he said I should think about becoming a singer. He said, You don't need to have money to start, and no matter what happens to you in life, no one can take away your instrument, accept you. From That day forward, I was a singer! Since then I have been traveling, Singing, writing and performing. (Recorded three albums with the band "SUNBURN" Honolulu, Hi, Best Rock album 1998(Mana) Hawaii music awards(hoku awards).
Recorded One Album with "kOI" Sanfrancisco, ca, Many unrealeased songs with"D.Michaels(W.E.B)Sacramento, Ca. Also "All The New" San Francisco, Ca.

I am now living in Sarasota, Fl, For the first two months here i was Singing with a band called Identity Krisis and enjoying my single life. Now i have decided to only focus on orginal music, and having complete artistic freedom with no restrictions. It was fun singing in small clubs again, and definately had a lot of fun, but I have bigger aspirations and goals to continue down this road. Thanks for the short run I.D!
I am working on a new album, and i'm taking my sweet time doin it! this town is Beautifull!
