- I am a bass-baritone singer. I have been singing for around three years in front of an audience though I have been able to sing for as long as I can remember.
-I love singing traditional pop/jazz songs.
-I would call myself primarily a crooner though I am able to switch between genres easily.
-If i would say I could play an instrument it would be drums to a decent level and djembe drums to a high level. This is due to my natural rhythm in music.
-I love singing and I have a dream of being able to sing for a big band and help bring jazz and traditional pop music back to mainstream.
-I am not a songwriter and I am primarily focused on storytelling while singing and enhancing a tune with my vocal abilities to make a song even better.
-I am also an entertainer and love to dance while I'm singing on stage and keep my audience captivated.

Influences
- My main influences are the crooners such as Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Bing Crosby and Bobby Darin. These singers helped me get into the genre and influenced things such as my velvety voice, my stage presence and the ease at which they sing.
- However I am also heavily influenced by the jazz greats such as Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday. They heavily influenced my phrasing and improvisation.
- There are many more influences I could nae that have all formed my style and the way I sing.
