SLIDING DOORS And FROM THE BEGINNING Featured Tracks On ReverbNation
Thank you for stopping by.
For the past eleven years I have been based in the UK. But I am American, Italian/American, born and raised in the Boston area. I started playing music at the early age of four. First on drums, accomplished and still professional til this day, then piano followed by guitar and bass. I have been singing literally ever since I could speak. My drumming/percussion days lasted well over twenty years during which time I played in bands and orchestras throughout Massachusetts and New England. I wrote my first song when I was eight years old. By the time I graduated from college in Boston I had three Musical scores and a growing library of songs under my belt. There I achieved a BFA degree in Performing Arts with a national music award for composition. I have been composing ever since. Please listen to my newest tracks 1-6 directly above here on my Myspace player. Tracks 8-10 are features from my Broadway cover album FROM THE BEGINNING that I finished recording in Manila in 2004.
In June I will be singing with the orchestra of a new westend show called LATIN FEVER starring Darren Bennett and Lilia Kopylova and other top latin dancers from BBC's STRICTLY COME DANCING. The show will run throughout the month of June at the Peacock Theatre in London. As an actor I have played various lead roles in the US and UK on stage as well as screen. Some of my stage roles have included Al Schwartz in the westend play INFORMED CONSENT, Von Rothbart in ODETTE, Marty in OVER THE RAINBOW The Eva Cassidy Story, John in the original Cameron Mackintosh production of MISS SAIGON, Tony and Riff in WESTSIDE STORY, Danny in GREASE!, Laertes in HAMLET and Cliff in CABARET.
On screen I recently finished shooting the role of Commander John Flysten in the new sci-fi film OCEAN STAR V1 set to be released in the middle of this year. On track 7 of the Myspace player you can listen to Ocean Star's 'Main Theme' titled BATTLE OF OCEAN STAR which I composed solely for this film.
In the past I have played such screen roles as Lou Nordstein in the film THE FINAL CURTAIN, Peter in HUSH, Dave Edlundz in the Urban Legends TV episode: WHAT A WAY TO GO and Prime Minister of England in BUILDING AN EMPIRE: GREAT BRITAIN among others. I am proud to be able to say I have worked with renowned actors such as Burt Reynolds, George Hamilton, Peter O'Toole, Warwick Davis, Julia Sawalha, Adrian Lester, Denise Van Outen, Barbara Windsor and Red Buttons.
I am also happy to be a member of Global Angels Foundation. http://www.globalangels.org
