ABOUT

Experienced, professional Lead Vocalist - I've done just about everything, aside from Country and Hip-Hop -- 50's to the present. Equally comfortable singing lead and backup - I harmonize very well, and don't need the spotlight on every song.

As far as Keyboards, I started teaching myself in 2017. I can play chords & do a solid job covering the necessary parts (piano, strings, organ, synth, etc.). I'm just not a soloist.
