1982-Now
Growing Up
First Performances
My first live gigs as a precocious 15 year old. It seemed normal that the musicians who surrounded me were parents, siblings and uncles.
2005
Berklee College of Music
Basslines
I had an amazing experience at Berklee in June 2005. Though the course was a summer program it gave me the confidence to bring music beyond my college years.
In a voice session my focus is entirely on the singer in front of me. As a voice coach I have been fortunate to learn from a number of great teachers and and even greater number of fantastic students. Among my students are singers who grace concert halls, television sets, festivals and arena’s nationally and internationally as well as budding singers who only sing when they think nobody is listening. What matters is where we want to go, rather than where we have been.
In my training I have been immensely fortunate to work with some of the worlds leading contemporary coaches of vocal style and technique including Greg Enriquez, Robert ‘RAab’ Stevenson, Andres Martorell, Richard Halton and Wendy Parr.
