Tenor
Artist Statement
I am dedicated to presenting the highest quality musical programming and mentorship in concert venues, classrooms and community building projects. Always searching for excellence in my craft through professional performance and meaningful engagement with audiences, I also work to foster a culture of mentorship that is ongoing. Art and life must intersect. The artist must also be a teacher and a healer. Talents are to be used on stage as well as within the community to enrich, engage and encourage the generations who have come before as well as the generations who will continue to build bridges through art. I believe in the power of arts motivated interactive, Inclusive and multi-generational programming to enrich the world around me.
