Smooth vocals for your production that will make you smile. Hit Harmony Haven described my vocal style as: " ...echoes of the great American songbook without ever sounding imitative. His phrasing is conversational yet refined and carries a dynamic emotional range that makes each song resonate deeply and honestly." I like that.
