So grateful to be singing in large groups again! Fox has really stepped it up to meet COVID protocols. We singers will gladly jump through the hoops to be singing back as a group again! So proud of my friends Fletcher Sheridan (and sidekick Jarrett Johnson) for contracting this killer vocal choir for the soundtrack.

Can I tell you about something very exciting that happened to me recently? In a session for an upcoming action movie, we sang through this giant stack of music, and at one point towards the end of the session, we had begun to out-sing the orchestra.

When we sing on a video game score, we rarely get to perform that music live. Recently we took to the stage at the Dolby Theater to perform the soundtrack to Final Fantasy.

The creation of a musical from start to finish is an amazing feat. I was honored to be invited to record vocals for Alan Silvestri as he shopped Back to the Future: The Musical. We had a blast bringing the music from such an iconic film to the stage.
