This Catholic recording artist writes music for people of all faiths, including a gospel song, You Were Always There, recorded in 1991 by New Faith, featuring Teddy Pendergrass.

Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I am in a group called Catholic Artists For Relief. We sang at the 2002 Unity Awards, after having released a song and video called You Are Not Alone to raise money for the Pentagon Survivors Fund. The project was a success and the song received the 2002 Unity Awards for Song of the Year and nine other awards.
Your musical influences
I have taken in everything from Mozart and Handel, to rock-and-roll and soul music. I listen to a lot of praise songs, hymns, and psalms at home and in my travels, and I receive much inspiration from them. Church has been a powerful influence, as well.
Anything else?
I am proud to be a supporter of the United Catholic Music and Video Association (UCMVA).
