ABOUT

I've been a jazz vocalist for about 5 to 7 years now, but am looking to branch off into another genre. Preferably either soul or electronic, but very open to other options and ideas. When I sing, people are amazed at how low my voice is and how I don't look like an individual who sings in that way. I'm a baritone only because I'm able to sing both tenor and bass, but usually prefer the low notes, although I sometimes sing higher as well. People have said that I'm a crowd pleaser and that I sing better than some of the American Idol winners, but I guess you can be the judge of that.😜
