I am a lead singer. I moved to San Diego from New York in February of this year. I come from a musical family and have been playing on and off since I was a teenager. I enjoy singing many types of music; blues, jazz and standards are primarily what I'm interested in and what I have the most experience singing. I'm a fairly competent rhythm keyboard player who knows chords and I don't read music. In order to accompany myself I pretty much learned how to play the last few years. I played in various clubs on Long Island the last 4 years, I've done some recording, I've sung back up with various musicians. I am very good with harmonies. I want to meet good musicians who are fun and dedicated and want to work. It's a lifestyle and a profession that I like very much. Having lived a full life, I know hundreds of songs. Very importantly, word is I'm not an asshole so I'm easy to work with and have a proclivity for picking up songs quickly.
