Be a noir performer

LA born and raised Soul singer, Jazz man, poet, dancer, choreographer, connoisseur of haberdashery.

One of the most dramatic and entertaining performers in LA who toured the majority of the United States, as well as Australia.

Referred to as "Cult Icon," "Urban Word Man," "Groove-Master," "the Underground King of LA," "dancer extraordinaire," "the modern day Sammy Davis, Jr." "One Cool Cat," "Cool to the Bone," "the Svengali of Sensuality," and "the best-kept secret in the music business.”

I started dancing at the age of fifteen and worked as a choreographer and dancer for recording artists including Janet Jackson, Sammy Davis, Jr., Paula Abdul, Diana Ross, The Pointer Sisters, Bonnie Raitt, The Mask, Al Green, The Isley Brothers, George Michael, Smokey Robinson, Toni Braxton and Kathy Sledge as well as Directors such as Antoine Fuqua, David Fincher, Dominick Scena, Thierry Mugler, Rupert Wanewright and Charles Whitenmier.

My music career began in the then-underground poetry circuit of places like Max's Garage, and soon my performance took the life of its own and evolved into “The Toledo Show” - choreographed madness, the longest-running, most talked about show in Los Angeles.
