VOCALIST
Jim has been singing in bands since he was a teen and has been on the "rock" stage from age of 14. He learned and practiced "musical theater voice" for 7 years on Long Island at "Gateway Playhouse", where he starred in over a dozen musicals. Over the years his voice matured into a strong versitle sound that truly is one of a kind.
Presently, he is a Hi-Tenor and can blend his broadway legit style with his hard rock voice for an all around sound that gives him great versatility when approaching a project. All in all, Jim has a very unique tone that stands out when among other vocalists. Jim is a professional at controlling his vibrato, blending and harmonizing, he can hit and hold notes very few other male vocalists can. Of all Jims talents "voice" is his strongest craft and is what sets him apart from other performers.
ACTOR
