My music is a mix of folk, reggae, oppera and jazz, or "FROJ". (It sounds better than it sounds.) I’ve released 2 CDs so far and continue to write and record.
Artists I have worked with include the Gone Tribe, the Reggaematics, Tooly Look, Smokestack Lightning, Angels In Overdrive, the Scoundrels and the Blue Unknown. I performed for many years with Opera Pro Voce as a baritone. I want to acknowledge and thank them every chance I get – most especially, to the memory of my beloved voice teacher and friend, Gloria Hilborn.
I studied music theory at SUNY Fredonia and electronic music with Barton McLean and David Tudor at iEar studios/Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. I also got quite an education at WRPI, the college radio station.
In 2007, I co-wrote the Alma Mater for Dowling College with Olivia Marie, "We Stand Taller". It is very much in the style of the venerable, Pomp and Circumstance.
My song, Beautiful, placed third in the 2007 Dallas Songwriters Association - annual Songwriters Competition in the pop-rock category. Beautiful, is on my second CD, 14 Fish, 2 Bottles & a Shoe.
