"From day one, music was an integral part of my life. My grandparents were an opera singer and a concert pianist, while my father and uncles were accomplished musicians. Sundays saw the family singing and performing in church, and every Thursday there was a jam session at the house.

"When I was 12 years old, and got my first paying gig at the wedding of a family friend. I started working on a regular basis in local clubs with friends of mine from high school. It was also during that time I met Gary Cambra and we became friends. In 1996, I was asked to sing on the Tubes CD, Genius of America. A fan of The Tubes since 1975, I jumped at the opportunity.

"Through music, I believe we can contribute to the health and well-being of our planet. Here's hopes of making a contribution towards a better quality of life, love, and all forms of art."
