Singer
and Composer, with body and soul, voice and show
Born in Oklahoma City USA he was first raised under
the influence of Gospel music owing to the fact that his mother and his father
were both soloists in their respective Church Choirs.
The popular music of the 60's and 70's with both black and white styles of such
singers as Sam Cooke to Rod Stewart were his protegés.
After his studies at the University in Oklahoma and majoring in Business
Economics, he moved to Atlanta Georgia where he became a founding member of the
rock band "Willy Best". At the same time he was recruited by his then Voice and
Piano Instructor, Pamela Heuerman to participate as first tenor with the Atlanta
Opera Society.
His "search" in life finally led him from rugged South America to majestic India
and then to the vibrations of Vienna before continuing his career in Germany
where he is currently Singer and front-man with one of north Germany's most
beloved dance and show bands.
Current projects include the production his new CD "Now and Then", touring with
the Rock Orchestra Ruhrgebeat and special appearances with New York Super
Vocalist, Pamela Falcon.
