I'm a vocalist and performing artist with over 20 years in the biz. Background is in jazz and musical theatre performance, but my claim to fame is my versatility. VERY comfortable in NEARL ALL kinds of musical styles, situations and venues. The only kinds of music I stay away from are classical, metal, and rap. Don't do a lot of country but the contemporary country is no problem. Already gigging, but transitioning back into singing and performing full time. Open to nearly any situation...from 2 - 3 nights steady, to studio sessions, to touring (short tours). Travelling is no problem.
