SEEKING

ABOUT

I am a male vocalist that excels in R&B, Funk and Blues and Jazz. I have over 20 years experience and have had great success wherever I have performed in the nation. My stage presence, vocal range, presentation, audience interface is 2nd to none. I am cut from the mold of male legends from Philly and Motown soul, i.e. Teddy Pendergrass, David Ruffin and Eddie Levert to the funk of James Brown, Lakeside, The Gap Band to the sophistication of Luther Vandross and Barry White.
I am very gifted at engaging the crowd and recognize that my duties as the focus of attention is to be shared and married to the legendary TOP horn section. As a musical MC, my job is to entertain and engage the audience to ensure that TOP is the stars - not me.
I am a huge fan and student to TOP and the many lead singers you have had throughout your history so I do understand the format.
Like many from the Sly Stone, Motown and funk era, I have vocally duplicated and covered many of the songs you have produced that have stood the test of time.
