ABOUT

Multi-genre, multi-era, experienced Lead Vocalist/Recording Artist with a powerful, controlled and soulful voice available for Studio Work and/or Band. I am a transplant from Texas who came to LA to help further my youngest son's acting career. Needing to get back into what I love, I am eager to start using my talents again. I have over 15 years of experience in the booth recording lead and harmony vocals. I have performed as lead vocalist for a total of 4 bands, performing in front of audiences of up to 2,000 people while covering a wide variety of artists/bands, such as Dio, Dokken, Scorpions, Queensryche, Van Halen, Journey (Just about every 80's artist you can think of), Etta James, Patsy Cline, Joss Stone, Amy Winehouse, Marron 5, Sam Smith, Jill Scott, Janet Jackson, Pink, Adele, Sade, Chaka Khan, Corrine Bailey Rae, Eagles, Steely Dan, Lady Antebellum, John Mayer and so many others. Throw it at me and I can cover it or be an amazing support/background vocalist! I pick up and learn quickly, so originals don't scare me. Please contact me for questions, interest and/or demos.
