Hi there, I'm a west coast vocalist having lived in Vegas, San Fran, San Diego and LA. Grew up in Chicago. Relocated to Muncie to take care of my gravely ill parents a few years ago. Now they're gone and in addition to attending Ball State for a studio art degree in Photography (Professional Photographer for 25 years) am very interested in getting back into music after being away from the industry for quite a few years. I sing the jazz and American standards, jazz, funk, Motown, and have written some originals that are smooth jazz oriented and ballads kinda like Alicia Keys. Am looking to perform in fine dining environments, jazz clubs, resorts etc on a part time basis, maybe one or two nights a week. Recording also in the works writing meditative jazz music for be Channel with multimedia productions incorporating stills and video. I'm looking for a pianist, upright bass and drummer. Sax would be very cool too! Are you a seasoned professional, maybe coming out of a music career, still wanting to perform occationally and interested in going the jazz/r&b route? Let's talk!
