Well, if you've gotten this far, I'm sure some of you are saying to yourselves  ........."Who IS this guy"?
In fact, I'm sure many of you that already know me have asked yourselves that same question many, many times. I wish I had an answer for you. I've spent most of my life being somebody else. Let me try to explain. I moved to Florida with my family when I was 7 years old, and it's been my home ever since. I have always been singing. My grandmother was an opera singer in New York in the early part of this century. Probably around 1910-1920. My parents used to get me to sing for their parties when I was 2 & 3 years old. "The Song From Moulon Rouge", by Nat King Cole. I can't remember a day going by, in the pre-teen years of my life, without hearing a Frank Sinatra or Mario Lanza record. After we moved to Florida, I joined a children's theatre workshop and I was hooked on acting. Hence the afore-mentioned statement " I've spent most of my life being someone else". Even when I started singing with bands in my teen years and then started singing for a living at 18, it was always easier to be "the guy in the song " then to figure out who I really was. I've been singing for my "supper" for over 35 years now. I went to college and got my voice degree in music education, but I still kept singing to pay the bills. I spent 6 years of traveling all around the southeast with pretty much the same band, (we just changed the name of the band every 6 months so we could get back into the same nightclubs). I came back to Clearwater in 1980. After being home a couple of years, and nearly starving from lack of employment, I finally got a job as a summer fill in at the Holiday Inn Surfside on Clearwater Beach. I moved into a little apartment at the beach shortly afterwards. That summer fill in job lasted almost 15 years. Singing out on the deck overlooking beautiful Clearwater beach, 4-5 days a week for 15 years, was the closest I've ever gotten to being a "star", but I couldn't have asked for a better place to "never be discovered". In 1991 I started working as a Karaoke host, K.J., and by 1996 I was doing Karaoke shows 4-5 nights a week. I put away my guitar and decided I'd let other people sing for me for a change. And the nice part is, I get paid. If you've been to any of my other web pages yet you've probably figured out I'm into computers also. In fact, it had a small part in breaking up a wonderful relationship,........ but that's another story for another time. Check over my site and if you feel there is more about me that you'd like to know, feel free to email me and maybe I'll add more information to this page.
Thanks for taking the time to spend time with ....
