Resume
I have been performing for more than 20 years. I have professional training from some of the best teachers in the business. I have an extensive background in music ranging from performing on tours with rock bands, musical theatre, chamber groups on classical guitar and on double bass (upright bass) and a metal band back in the day. Toured overseas to counrties like Germany, Switzerland, Hungary, Great Britain, Japan, Korea and even Iraq and Afghanistan to entertain the troops in 2004.
I have worked with The Ten Tenors from Australia, Jim Stubblefield of the group Incendio (Flamenco), Luis Bonilla (New York jazz trombonist with the Mingus Band, The Lincoln Center Orchestra and Marc Anthony). David Hasslehoff, Patty Andrews, Bea Arthur, Burliegh Drummond (Ambrosia and Tin Drum).I also work at Mt San Antonio College (Walnut, Ca) as a part time faculty member in the Vocal Jazz dept. Performed and composed music in Los Angeles for TV and film. I'm currently the main composer for Artwistic Productions headed by Voislav Andronescu who has worked for Lucasfilm and now has his own company. I've had the great honor of studying with late great Maurice Allard, my voice teacher for two years. Maurice Allard was the director of the Orange County Master Chorale and was a previous instructor at the French Conservatory and Julliard before that. To had studied with Maurice, one was invited only once he has heard you sing. I did group lessons with a band around that time and soon asked me to study privately with him for over a year.
I can say that I'm one of the most solid players you will find anywhere. With my extensive experience you will find that I bring a top level of professionalism, creativity, honesty, passion and unflinched integrity. Let me play for you. You won't regret it.
