Bio:
I have been singing and performing on stage since childhood. This musical drive in my life is a natural force that is as inherent to me as breathing. Education in my musical performance love affair has come from friends, family, reading books, passionate teachers, co-musicians and students. Fortunately, life's meetings have been the catalyst through which many of my lessons have been learned. So, if we have met even briefly, thank you for you have inspired me.
The songs heard now, have been written, produced and recorded by myself. What I know thus far of production has been learned through employment at Clear Channel via commercial production and countless time twiddling with software. More formal education is now taking place at Berklee College of Music in Boston studying music synthesis. There is so much more I wish to learn, that I feel compelled to immerse myself in a musical sabbatical.
Eventually, I will finish two different CD's I am simultaniously working on. A Pop album and a concept album. A stage production will complete my concept album project incorporating lights, costumes and choriography. I can't wait! More ideas bubble up for this each day.
Currently, I perform with Bob Macar, of Dream State Inc. and SOUTHTOWN FEVER . (Click to check out some video!) South Town Fever, is an energetic party band which caters to all types of celebrations.
Also on the list of great bands I play with from time to time is "Low Frequency Shaman" .
~Thanks to all of you who keep the encouragement comming!!
I love you...
