Performance Goals
I am currently an artist looking to work full time as a vocalist and performer. Whether that be touring with a band, doing voiceovers, getting signed to a label, or really anything involving music and performing. I am also looking to seek a reliable talent agency to help me get my name out there as much as I possibly can. It has always been my dream to become a well known singer and I believe I have what it takes to do just that as far as talent, personality, style, handling criticism, and creative motives to help the world be a better place. I play with a band but do my own work as well, which you will find to be very different compared to the work my band does. I love music and I want to spend the rest of my life doing it and giving it to others. I want it to be full time so I can focus all of my energy into it. Below is my soundcloud link and my bands website as well. On my soundcloud you will find work I've done with my band, with various other people, and work I've done alone.

The "I" in Industry
I am a young person and performer looking to dive head first into the entertainment industry through both my knowledge in communications and experience in vocal performance. I've had my feet wet in both of these areas and I am more than ready to take a full plunge. I am very diverse in the fact that, aside from my pursuing myself as an artist, I am willing to take on other jobs with my communication expertise to excel in every aspect of the industry. Anything and everything that comes my way, and will help me expand my horizons on the industry, I am eager to find out more about. I love meeting new people and am always appreciative to do so. With working in the communications part of the entertainment industry I have learned a lot about the performing aspect, what it takes to succeed, and vise-versa. The two sides go hand in hand and I am very passionate about both.
