ABOUT

Hi there
I am an experienced singer looking for musicians to collaborate with in the creation of a commercial lounge act with original material written by myself.

I want to get an act together to perform here

http://www.theblackcat.info/

and here

http://www.brasseriezedel/crazy-coqs

This is a 21st century take on the great crooners and entertainers of the mid late 20th century.

Imagine what Dean Martin would be like were he around today and you will get the idea.

Styles are a mixture of swing, ballads, pop, a little bit of country, Bossa Nova and Jazz. I am primarily looking for a MUSICAL DIRECTOR - someone who plays keys, can arrange, transpose, and with whom I can write. We can gig as a duo and build the rest of the band around us.

My original material has been very warmly received and the clear plan is to perform and record.
Aiming for the Live Lounge at the Hippodrome Casino in 6 months time. Then Las Vegas.
This act has huge commercial potential.

Who's coming?
