About
I’ve been a full time professional performing artist for more than 20 years. I mainly specialize as a solo acoustic performer for parties and dinners but can also make an appearance as a Freddie Mercury impersonator. I've been performing with my nationally Queen tribute band since 2021 and we are available for private events. I also do private and corporate events as a Freddie Mercury impersonator or a solo acoustic performance which includes wardrobe and my singing to the top Queen songs.
In addition to being featured on MTV and Rolling Stone, I having toured Germany, Spain, Denmark, England, including China and the Middle East.
When I’m not performing, I work with singers and singer-songwriters of all levels by teaching voice and producing, mixing, and mastering their music.

Emo was amazing! He always got back to me pretty quickly, very professional and kind. I had him come perform at my husband’s 50th birthday dinner. I picked an 80s playlist and surprised my husband with him. He loved it and all the songs Emo played from the playlist I gave him. I love supporting other artists and I definitely chose the right one! Highly recommend!

Emo has been very professional and friendly. I asked for his help with an audition for music school because I’m a singer and don’t play any instruments and he agreed to record a track for me and send it to me. I appreciate his help very much and I am excited to receive the music. I checked his YouTube channel and website and he is very talented!

FAQs
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I’m the Freddie Mercury of a nationally touring Queen tribute band called The Kings of Queen. I’ve produced mixed and mastered over 10 albums in the pop, rock, and hip hop genres.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I was a bad stutterer and my speech therapist showed me how to sing my words and avoid stuttering. Fast forward to today and I’m the lead singer for premier SoCal rock bands. Music saved my life.
Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?
Produced, mixed and mastered a rock band over a week. They are now charting locally and internationally with that song.
