About Me


UPDATED BIO - NOVEMBER 5, 2007 - Wow! Where to begin? This past year has been one Hell of a roller coaster ride (in a GREAT way!) I released my debut album "Look Into My Eyes" earlier this year (in March.) I have sold over 100 copies of the album on my own. Most people would say that isn't a lot. However, this has been through gigs, CD Baby, iTunes, and, for the most part, on my own. Quite an accomplishment, I believe. And for that, I am grateful.Working on the follow up album, "Two Avenues." Yes, it has a name and it is Very close to completion. Just going to take some more time to seriously promote the album once it is done. I'll keep you updated.However, the most current news is my piece at the Museum of Contemporary Art - "Kiss" by Tino Sehgal (now through December 30.) Along with that, I've had the privilege and the blessing to be a part of the beautiful production "In My Life" by Academy Award Winner Joe Brooks playing now through November 10th at Jedlicka Performing Arts Center in Cicero. www.jpactheatre.com or 708-656-1800. Video from YouTube/about IML is shown above. Hope to hear from you soon. More to come. Peace.
