Birth place: on a small island call St. Vincent in the Caribbean.
I've been exercising my vocal chords since childhood. At age 5, I started singing and acting at School, Sunday School/Church, where I've performed in concerts (solo & choir) and plays. At age 15, I started learning to play the guitar and performed as a Vocalist/Frontman in my first (Soul/Pop) band. I write my own songs, have my own distinctive powerful vocal sound/style (natural and falsetto), good dance moves, and get an audience motivated with ease. It's been said; "You don't need a microphone with a voice like that!"
Throughout the years, as a Vocalist/Frontman, I've performed at a range of functions and venues like - pubs, weddings, parties, balls, social clubs, hotels, nightclubs, universities, corporate functions, military bases, festivals, charity events and on a vessel on the river Thames; singing Soul/Motown, Funk, Reggae, Soca (Soul/Calypso), Rock, Blues, Pop, Rock'n'Roll and Heavy Rock. I've won singing competitions (solo, band and karaoke); done session (live and studio), had a publishing deal with one of my songs and have attracted strong interest from record companies (strongest from Arista Records) and supported Coolio. I can dance (Disco/Freestyle), play guitar and compose my own songs.
Presently, I’m singing (occasionally) in a semi-pro band, but gigs are few as band's not being promoted with agencies by the manager. I want to broaden my horizon to sing on a more regular basis; so I'm willing to join or work with another band on a pro/semi pro basis. So, I'm eager to hear from any band that needs an experience vocalist/frontman. I'm also available for depping and session work.
On my music pages - here & here, you can listen to my recordings; a mixture of originals & covers – funk/disco, soul, soca, reggae & rock. Some recorded in professional studios, home studios, on a live gig and at rehearsal. (Don't pay much attantion to the rehearsing songs, as was very early days of band getting together).

Hi Norbie,
No question you've got a great soulful voice and keep writing those tracks, there's a lot of potential in them! Unfortunately we're going to have to bank you for now at least as we have gone for a majority vote on a female for this project but if we get a chance to do something with a male vocalist we'll be in touch in the new year.
Have a great Xmas and new year and let us know when your gigging around Cambridgeshire.
Take care and kind regards,
Pep Serrano
