I got my first guitar on my eighth birthday, and wrote my first song before I turned nine. Being a singer/songwriter is all I can ever remember wanting to be, and I've been singing my songs to live audiences now for many years. In the past I've had some close calls with record companies that ended in diappointment, but when it's something you were born to do, giving up is never an option.

Bio

In 1980, at the age of 17, I won a talent contest performing an original song of mine at a prominent hotel in south Florida. Afterward, I was offered my first professional performing gig at a fine restaurant/lounge in Ft. Lauderdale. From that moment on I knew that music was going to play a big role in the rest of my life.
I've been performing professionally ever since, backing up many national acts such as Kansas, The Romantics, Kiss, and recently performing on stage with Darius Rucker of Hootie and the Blowfish fame at Roony's Public House in West Palm Beach.
In 1989 I was given the opportunity to sing back up vocals for Atlantic Records recording artists "Linear". It was my first time in a studio of that caliber, and it was an incredible learning experience for me. I was able to sit in on the entire recording process, and will always be greatful for the chance to gain that kind of hands-on experience.
I'm currently performing in a house band at Roony's Public House on Clematis Street in West Palm Beach, Fl. This is a very prominent establishment frequented by many well known celebrities.
