ABOUT

I really enjoy singing and have attended a few Open Mic Nights in the area. I play a couple of instruments to a small degree, but would prefer to just sing. My instruments are used mainly when I am writing songs.

I am an actor (both drama and musical) and have appeared in 20 or more stage productions over the last twenty-five years. I am a playwright and I belong to an online karaoke site to keep the voice in check. In January 2013, I was invited up on stage to sing with a cruise ship band after they heard me on karaoke night on board the ship. I loved it and knew right then that I wanted to be a part of a band.

Since 2015, I have been a member of an online karaoke site just to keep my voice in check. Here is a sample video I made:

I have written twelve Christian Contemporary songs, for which I plan to produce a CD and am writing a stage production, but one thing at a time...

I believe I have what it takes to become a valued member of a band. As well, I have over twenty years experience as an event planner, so I could be useful in that aspect as well.
