Chicago Elton John Impersonator
This Chicago Elton John Impersonator is a classically trained pianist and jazz veteran (yet with the heart of a rock & roller!). He has performed in countless musical situations over the years. After backing up literally hundreds of tribute artists over the years, it was finally time for him to stand up and be counted. And performing an act in tribute to Sir Elton John... that was a no-brainer for him. It is music that has the perfect blend of energy, great vocals, and pianistic fireworks for him to REALLY dig into!

Determined to follow through his musical dream, he studied and received a bachelor's degree in classical piano performance from Hartt School of Music. After college and a few years performing, he spent 3 years in the Fourth United States Army Band at Ft. Sheridan, Illinois, key to developing his jazz chops.
