Sing Sing Sing

My parents always encouraged me to dream big.  My love for music started when I was a child.  My music career started during my 4 years of college at the University of Miami with a degree in studio music/jazz vocal.  Doing gigs and sessions in Miami lit the fire in me. After graduation and without hesitation, I headed to NYC. 

I started gigging the first weekend I arrived.  Studio work followed.  I built a career doing gigs and singing on commercials (Red Lobster, Duncan Hines, Hasbro, Sherwin Williams, Modells’ to name a few).  After 15 years, the business began to decline and I found myself wondering what was next.  

Surprisingly, I landed in the corporate world.  After all, music and math are related.  I also joined a few non-profit arts and music boards.  After 20 years (and a pandemic) I found myself aching to get back into the studio.  With the encouragement of family and friends, I knew it was time to sing again.  

The result:  I released two singles; a remake of Jimmy Webb’s “Up, Up & Away” and “A Sign of the Times”, also from the 1960’s.  My third single just released in April.   

I cannot imagine my life now without music. 

I encourage you to unleash and share your creativity!  The world needs it now more than ever. – LM
