| Introduction | New York based singer/pianist/songwriter/composer and voice instructor... lover and performer of the outer regions of pop, the inner regions of jazz, and any R&B and soul that makes its way in. Following in my dad's footsteps: I have been a full time musician and performer since I was 16 years old...started out playing in hotel lobbies and ma and pa restaurants in Butler, Pa...passed through Pittsburgh, cultivated my style, fell in love with jazz and gospel music, and bounced into the world of modern dance; got to NYC; got a masters in jazz singing...did some off-broadway and rocked out all over the city as an emcee, pianist, singer and crowd motivator..coming up on my fourth year here, and things don't seem to be slowing down! Enjoying the ride, my beautiful friends, and the opportunity to continually learn from everything life hands me |
