One of the most unforgettable experiences of my career was performing in South Lake Tahoe. The entire journey felt like a movie. You fly into Reno, watching the desert stretch out beneath you, and then you drive through winding mountain roads where the landscape gradually transforms from dry desert hills into lush alpine forest. And then you round a turn and suddenly Lake Tahoe appears in front of you: a massive expanse of turquoise-blue Gatorade so vivid it almost looks unreal.

We performed on a boat in the middle of the lake, surrounded by mountains capped with snow. My client was incredible; he enjoyed the show so much he asked me to stay an extra night, which I did. I spent the evening at a lakeside lodge, and when my flight was later overbooked, Delta put me up at the Atlantis in Reno, which was hands down one of the nicest resorts I’ve stayed in throughout my entire career.

Surprisingly, the events I look forward to the most now are community-focused events, non-profits, and children’s parties. Earlier in my career, when I worked under other managers, I wasn’t always allowed to accept those types of bookings. Now, running my own company, I have the freedom to say yes to them, and they’ve become some of the most meaningful experiences of my entire career.

These shows are always the most wholesome, intimate, and personal. I take home the strongest memories from them. When a child comes up to me and says it’s the coolest thing in the world that I travel the country performing for a living, or tells me they want to be just like me when they grow up, it genuinely brings me to tears. Those moments stay with me long after the lights go down.

Despite having no rhythm, dance experience, or knowledge of Michael Jackson beyond his passing, I begrudgingly gave in to my peers’ requests to perform ‘Billie Jean’ at my 8th-grade dance. Within two weeks, I, a 14 year old with no prior interest or training, was booked and busy, touring the state of Florida as a professional tribute artist.

In high school, I trained in Jazz, Hip-Hop, Ballet, and Modern dance under one of the nation’s top programs, later studying Theatre Arts at Stetson University with a focus on acting, directing, and stage design. At 19, I left Stetson to pursue entertainment full-time, launching MWC Recording Studio, and working in the recording industry. From 2019 to 2022, I worked as a producer, engineer, music video director, and session vocalist. In 2024, I relaunched my Michael Jackson Tribute Show, celebrating my 10th anniversary in live entertainment with a nationwide tour.

All the greats! Far too many to list here.

I’m happy to perform outdoors, provided there’s a flat, level surface and a reliable power supply close to the performance area. For the best experience, shade or a covered area is recommended to protect both the performer and equipment.

Absolutely! Each performance is custom-tailored to my clients' preferences. Clients are welcome to choose from my repertoire or suggest specific songs in advance, with custom requests accommodated to ensure the performance feels truly personal and unique.
