I have been performing live with bands for over ten years. It is undoubtedly my first love. I have been fortunate enough to have performed almost every kind of music all over North America and Europe. Nothing can match the feeling one gets when he or she is up on that stage, captivating an audience and getting the dance floor grooving. Performances in Los Angeles, Paris, and London, England are special memories.
My musical influences are very diverse. Although Soul music, both classic and current, is an obvious favorite, I can just as easly settle in to a U2 song or a mezmerizing solo by Charlie Parker. I like intelligent rap and hip-hop, and I love classical music from the romantic period. I just like GOOD music!

Just hoping that music gets back to its roots which was more about the music than image!
