ABOUT

Vocalist Seeking Dedicated Musicians for Gigs, Tributes & Creative Projects

I’ve been singing my entire life—it's part of who I am and how I move through the world. With 2+ years of vocal coaching and performance experience, I bring passion, discipline, and a wide vocal range that covers everything from haunting melodies to powerhouse rock. I'm proud to say I can hit every note in Maynard James Keenan’s repertoire—and mean it.

I was lead vocalist in a TOOL tribute band alongside three incredibly talented musicians. We pushed each other, grew together, and made something powerful. Due to life changes for two members, our lineup shifted, but the guitarist and I remain fully committed to weekly jams with the goal of gigging—and eventually touring—as a dedicated TOOL tribute act.

That said, I’m musically open. I’m currently exploring sounds with other artists, and I’d love to collaborate with a pianist, guitarist, drummer, bassist—or any soloist who’s down to create something unique. I'm especially into reworking '80s, '90s, 2000s and modern rock/grunge songs into unexpected, broken-down versions that make people pause and say, “Wait—I know this song.”

I’m also a lifelong writer and lyricist, so whether it’s a tribute band or an original project, I’m here for it. Right now I’m jamming regularly with a few groups, but I’m looking for the right people who want to commit, collaborate, and hit the stage.

Let’s build something real. Whether it’s reimagined covers or original material, if you’re passionate, reliable, and ready to gig—I’m all in.

Influences

Vocally inspired by powerhouse and emotionally raw artists like Maynard James Keenan, Chris Cornell, Bradley Nowell, Kurt Cobain, Johnette Napolitano, Gord Downie, and Robert Plant—each known for bringing soul, grit, and storytelling to their performance.

Musically rooted in the layered intensity and groove of bands like TOOL, A Perfect Circle, Big Wreck, Audioslave, Rage Against the Machine, Incubus, NIN, Primus, Katatonia, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Stone Temple Pilots, and Deftones.

Also creatively driven by pop with a twist—artists who mix vulnerability, depth, and left-of-center production: Lana Del Rey, Billie Eilish, Florence + the Machine, Halsey, Banks, Metric, and Aurora. I’m drawn to contrast—moody textures with melodic hooks, stripped-down arrangements of songs you think you know, and genre-bending interpretations that bring something unexpected to the stage.

EQUIPMENT

My voice – lovingly maintained, powerfully trained, and ready to wail, whisper, belt, and soar.

Several microphones – because tone is everything and sometimes one mic just isn’t enough for all the moods.

Mixer – for balancing vibes and levels.

Bullhorn – because sometimes you need to get weird, dramatic, or start a revolution mid-set.

Stage wear – ranging from ethereal grunge to warrior goddess to “wait... is that sequins?” I dress to feel the music.

Hair & makeup kit – complete with lashes, glitter, and just enough smudge to say “I might’ve cried during soundcheck, but it was artistic.”

Lyric notebooks & writing tools – analog or digital, wherever the words land.

A sense of humor and a good pair of boots – both essential for long nights and louder crowds.
