I’m a professional vocalist based in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, with over 15 years of experience as a lead vocalist in a band, followed by a long career directing children’s music and working as a pastoral musician. I have produced and performed in theatrical and musical concerts, with all proceeds benefiting charitable causes. I regularly entertain and sing with my grandchildren (ages 2–10), giving me a strong, intuitive sense of what engages children and invites them to participate. I’m known for an expressive, versatile voice and can comfortably adapt my tone across styles—from classical and lyrical singing to character voices, including the ability to sound like a young child when needed.
