"The stage is his true home. Armed with no more than an old drum machine, an acoustic guitar, and a piano, his soul visibly soars from his feet to his fingertips. His performance was simply breathtaking to experience.."

When he’s not putting on a lascivious tough-guy swagger, he’s a broken bird, pleading for love in the silent, cruel and cold night..."
