My journey in music began in New York where I was born. I attended Manhattan School of Music. I left New York and moved to Southern California at first where I was performing Top 40, R&B and some jazz. I fell in love with Jazz at an early age and knew that was my destiny and desire in my music endeavors. When I came to the Bay Area in 1980, clubs such as Rolands, Pearls, Pasands, Capurros, Pier 47, Bajones, Caspian, Regina’s, Rasella’s and Seven Hills were all home to me.  Jazz Vocals were then welcomed in all Jazz clubs. It was a tremendous time with incredible musicians to accompany me.  Throughout I have done private parties and events for all occasions.

My experience in music encompasses all areas of Jazz Standards, Ballads, Bossa Samba, Cha Cha, Blues and some Latin Jazz. I have performed in San Francisco; Oakland, Newport Beach; Catalina Island, Acapulco, Hawaii; New York, Hilton and Holiday Inn chains in Southern California, Las Vegas, Tahoe, Nagoya and Osaka Japan. I recently was performing at Vaso Azurro in Mountain View, CA.

Some of my performance associates were John Handy, Sy Perkoff, Al Zulaica, Manny Duran, John Ray, Babatunde, Vince Lateano, Pete Escovedo, Ted Connell, Chris Amburger, Frank Tusa, Eddie Henderson, Jon Davis, Andrea Haverback, and many more. It’s wonderful to be back on track and to know that the supper club venues are finally opening up again to live Jazz music in the Bay Area!
