From an early age, music has been my life. I started singing for family and friends when I was five years old and have been at it ever since. For several years, I studied the piano and my true love, the guitar. At 15 I started performing at underground coffee houses in the basements of Boston area churches and later with rock bands, a soul/funk band and a duo that received a lot of local attention. Moving on to Las Vegas to further my songwriting and solo performing career, I played at the Fremont hotel downtown and resorts on the Strip. My composing and songwriting career spans decades and several genres most notably rock, folk and jazz fusion including instrumental and lyrical compositions. My music has appeared in independent films and network television and cable shows and has earned several industry awards including the ASCAP Plus Award in 2011 & 2012, Finalist in the 2011 UK National Songwriting Contest, Best Male Vocalist in the 2006 Southern California Music Awards.
