Need an experienced lead or background vocalist?

About Me

I love music. My brother and I used to air band to The Four Seasons 8 tracks (among others) in my parents' basement even making our own fake instruments and disco balls. I've been performing live since about 1995. Around which time I began entering many categories in the music festival for several years. Things I enjoyed were movie/TV/pop, contemporary ballad, and musical theatre, just to name a few.I play rhythm guitar, took piano, vocal, and bass guitar lessons, and sing lead and background vocals. I love harmony, I would love to be a top call artist for other performers to use either for the studio or live performances as a background vocalist or as a demo singer for song writers.I currently am in a guitar/vocal duo called "Fundamental Things" with my friend Robert Renman. We perform a variety of musical styles ranging from blues, roots, jazz, country, pop, and rock. Visit Robert's and my website at www.fundamentalthings.caI fronted a couple different blues/rock/country bands in the past and enjoyed them very much. It would be great to be a lot busier with music than I am right now.I value the earth, farmers, clean air, fresh water, and healthy food and am interested in off-grid, sustainable living.
