I sing beautiful music -- primarily opera -- but I also do concert work, church music, studio/scoring sessions, and whatever other performance opportunities I can get my hands on.

I remember listening to a classical music station some time in the 1980s. And there was an opera singer who grew up in communist China during the cultural revolution. He had helped the communists break his fathers vinyl records. Who was that?

I haven't heard that story before. I'll keep asking around though and will report back if I find out.

What kinds of churches do you sing in?

Asked by Question Maker over 4 years ago

I sing mostly in Catholic, Presbyterian, Congregational churches and Jewish temples, but there are a wide range of opportunities for sacred singing for professional and volunteer singers alike.

Is there other types of music you like if so what kind? Also is it hard to sing opera

Asked by Dan over 4 years ago

I learn so much from other styles of music that I listen to everything...although smooth jazz and country have never spoken to me. Yet, country singing and the story telling in that genre's songs are truly amazing. As a musician, we should learn from everything.

Yes, opera is a challenging art form, but it's amazing and so much fun. The hard part is learning, dedication and keeping yourself healthy and focused.

Who is your fav famous singer?

Asked by ddfasdfasdfasdf over 4 years ago

I love Joyce DiDonato. Her voice, stage presence, acting and overall joy for music is an inspiration to me.

When do you think shows and things will be back to normal

Asked by ASDF over 4 years ago

I wish we knew! All we can do is keep on preparing while sheltering in place and hope for the best.

Do you think you will always do this? And do you work any other jobs besides this?

Asked by Bff over 4 years ago

Yes, although right now, it's so hard to wait to sing on stage again. Luckily, I do have some side hustles. I do voice over and online training tutorial production. I've also worked on the music industry side which has been helpful to me in learning how to handle myself in business. But singing is something that will always be central to me.

Have you ever had a embarrassing moment on stage or something similar?

Asked by Jamie over 4 years ago

Oh many! But that's the fun of live performance. I think the one that could have been the worst is when I was singing in a concert and they didn't tell us we'd be on stage sitting for the first 45 minutes of the Beethoven 9. Usually in that concert, the soloists walk out for the last movement. I had been hydrating and they shoved us out onto the stage without any notice. Needless to say, I almost peed onstage. I was sitting directly center stage, with the audience only maybe 15 feet from me. I had a glass of water by my seat and decided that if I started peeing, I'd "spill" my water so they couldn't tell. Luckily, it didn't get so far, but I have never bowed so fast at the end of the show ever or since!
