About
Born in England from Irish parents, I grew up around music and those typical Irish family gatherings. Music had a big influence in my family. My great grandfather, on my mothers side, was an Irish Opera singer. My grandfather, on my fathers side, was a club singer. The late Luciano Pavarotti was my uncles best friend.
My musical career kind of began at the age of 9, when I learned guitar. After this, I taught myself piano during my teenage years and eventually at 19 years old I took lessons to play the Wurlitzer type organ, as someone had gifted our family one.
My first big public performances were as a keyboard player and backing vocalist in Rock 'N' Roll bands and Irish Groups around the UK. Following this, I decided to travel and joined a modern day choir in Germany as a Tenor. During this time, I took up Ballroom and Latin American Style Dancing, and performed as a solo artist in a local Irish Pub Chain around Europe. I eventually achieved Silver Standard in Ballroom and Latin American Dancing and Gold Bar Standard in Salsa and Mambo.
On my return to the UK, I got back into Irish Dancing, and eventually performed in a version of the Lord of the Dance Show. I also worked for a local radio station and did some private DJ work and also Karaoke in around my solo performances.
After a paternal break from my music career, I then began to work for an agent around the UK as a solo artist, and even performed a Meatloaf tribute show with a female artist. More recently, I was enlisted as Entertainment Manager, to host cruises and weddings, sing and DJ for Paphos Sea Cruises and Exclusive Yacht Weddings in Cyprus. My contract was for 2 years, and was definitely an experience. I still do the odd job for them even now.
Over the last year, I have been an Entertainment Manager for a local agency in Cyprus, and I have also been performing in hotels and bars around the Paphos area. Following all of this, I have decided to keep to performing and move away from management, as this is my main love in life. I love making people happy with my performances.
