Merchant

Born and raised in New Jersey, I grew up around music in school and church choirs. later joining the military, I performed to large crowds in clubs throught Japan and Germany, later came to Colorado where I spread my wings as a soulful singer. There I became Denvers #1 Jazz Vocalist for two consectivitive years, with the bands "Minus Zero and "So What" winning KHIH Radio's "Jazz Band of the Year" compitition with both groups, singing with the stirring passions of Sam Cooke and Al Green, along with the harmony of The Temptations. My powerful emotion-filled representations of classic love ballads will stick with you long after I've finished singing. Florida is now my home where I plan to have the same success in entertaining and motivating the crowds to sing, dance, and cry with me through the music by giving the audiance a blast from the past, and soulful funk for the future!
