I dedicated my life to the Fine Arts at the early age of five. I was first bitten by the bug by singing and dancing to Elvis records. As I grew older, I honed my skills by singing in the church choirs. In high school, my passion grew as I performed in concert choir, show choir, and became a lead actor in various school plays.
I was awarded scholarships to Lambuth University for music and theater. After college I put acting on the back burner and focused more on my music career by playing every dirty bar and club I could get into. By 1993 I was playing six nights a week and earning enough to be a full time musician. I signed my first record deal in May of 1997 with Sony550/Epic records and have been touring the world ever since. I have sold over 5 million records world wide and have had the honor of sharing the stage and performing with many of my heroes. My heart lies in all forms of artistic expression and my goal is to succeed in the world of voiceover and acting the same way I have succeeded in the music business.
Fiesta Oyster Bake
106 years and counting. For a third of San Antonio’s history, the Oyster Bake has been part of the fabric of the community. What started as a St. Mary’s University alumni gathering with a handful of people in 1916 on the banks of the San Antonio river downtown has grown to a premier Fiesta San Antonio event with over 70,000 patrons and more than 7,000 volunteers.
The Oyster Bake truly is a party with a purpose. 100% of the proceeds raised during the Oyster Bake goes directly back to the students of St. Mary’s University. By attending the Oyster Bake, you are helping further the education of students and help in their growth as future community leaders. Over the years your patronage has directly contributed millions of dollars in student scholarships and university programs and for this we can simply say, thank you.
And in case you were wondering, over the two days of Oyster Bake we go through 100,000 oysters and 32,000 chicken on a sticks with jalapeno!
