I'm a Brooklyn born Native New Yorker, now a UK resident living in Basingstoke. I arrange, compose, produce, and perform music at my studio, Dumb Yank Productions, to make the sounds that keep me gigging throughout the UK; from 60's Motown, Soul, 70's/80's dance music to R&B of the 90's and naughties, as well as music soundtracks for films, various "American Accent" voiceovers for talking books, radio drama, commercials and corporate projects. With some previous semi-professional experience in acting and theatre, I am presently branching back into these areas of the entertainment industry in addition to my musical pursuits with a view to establishing myself as "that Yank" on UK TV and British Films. Being an American who has lived in the UK for so long, I consider myself a highbrid of the two cultures, one that I believe is very marketable to the UK television and film industry.

In US, amateur and semi-pro (off broadway)theatre, drama and musical. Film experience in music videos and work for university grad student projects. Presently establishing a profile/persona of a "UK Yank" in several independent British features. Showreel in progress, however I am said to have a certain charisma and presence that might be compared to Samuel L Jackson or Will Smith. Bourne from my singing talents, I also have a broad range of voices and characterizations which I use for voice over work in radio and various corporate projects.

I Make my primary living as a keyboard/vocalist solo entertainer performing Motown, Soul, 70's/80's dance music and 90' RnB throughout UK. Own a recording studio/music production company. Play keyboards, produce artists and bands,compose music for film, TV, radio, record and produce my own backing tracks (even the Girlie bits) and perform US and Mid-lantic accent voiceovers for the UK market. I'm told I'm a very good mover, though not a professional dancer, and an excellent Soul singer, however, I can perform most non-classical genres including Broadway/West End/Theater.
I also very often utilize some of my acting skills in performing my music shows, so my music skills lend themselves nicely to performing in music videos.
