*Yes I sing, and sometimes I sing backup for a Philly-based musical artist called Boy Wonder . Check out the dates below this section to see it for yourself.
*I've performed in over 35 musicals, plays and ballets with over a dozen different community and professional companies. I am now majoring in Acting with a musical theater minor at The University of the Arts in Philadelphia.
*If you would like to know about my about my experience, check out my portfolio (Please keep in mind that it's currently about 2 years out of date) OR e-mail me at [email protected] for my updated performance resume and headshots.
"I am an actor and I have no apologies!"Music and the people who make it mean a lot to me.
*I'm learning as much as I can about all of the inter-workings of the music industry and hope to be able to see things from a musician's point of view.
*I run a group on campus called Fueled by Music! that promotes the independent music scene via webradio, flyers, and a concert series. Visit this group's myspace and add us as a friend!
*If interested in viewing my resume for related experience please e-mail me at [email protected]I don't believe there is one job for me but many, and right now I am focused on getting the skills I need to thrive in both the world of performing, and the world of helping the performers.
