About me

I am a professional Barry White and Soul tribute artist from West London who works both home and away. I have performed mostly in Greece since 2011 as a solo performer, and occasionally in a group, at hotels, nightclubs, bars and at other events such as weddings and parties. My voice type is baritone and my range spans from an A1 to an A5, this enables me to cover songs from the Temptations, to Luther Vandross and Michael Jackson. My musical genres also cover Pop, RnB, Disco, Rap and Reggae and performances usually have a mix of all these styles.
Additional skills:
I have acting and voice-over experience and have worked in commercials and animated movies. Former employers are ITV (The Durrells), Philips, Reebok and Barbasol.

I am also a music, culture and history scholar having lived in several European and Caribbean countries and written for Black History Month and mobo.com who presents the biggest, annual Black music event outside of America, the MOBO Awards.

I have limited French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Greek, Maltese and Japanese language skills being able to read and communicate on basic terms plus read the Greek alphabet (and most Cyrillic - Russian, Ukranian, Serbian, Bulgarian) and some hiragana, katakana and kanji. As a Caribbean I speak and understand English and French Creole (Jamaica, Barbados, St. Lucia, Martinique).
