One Day More from "Les Miserables in Quaran-Stream"
I was born and raised in Cleveland, OH!
My family has always been insanely supportive of anything I've wanted to do. I started my adventures off young; 5 years old to be exact, when I started Tae Kwon Do. Through the next decade or so, I earned my 2nd Degree Black Belt (still one of my favorite accomplishments!). I later found an interest in more sports: Hockey, Lacrosse, and Diving.
My love for music has ALWAYS been huge. From playing the Viola in orchestra, to playing Clarinet and Saxophone in Concert, Jazz and Marching Bands. Eventually I decided to push it further and joined an Acapella choir, an Acapella men's group, and show choir. I discovered the love for singing that led me to do my first big musical RAGTIME, playing Coalhouse Walker Jr. From then on, it was set!
I finished up high school and left Shaker Heights for "Steel Town;" PITTSBURGH. I attended Point Park University's Conservatory of Performing Arts and in 2014, graduated Cum Laude with a degree in Musical Theatre. Shortly thereafter, I packed up my things, and moved here, to my new home, New York City!

This Is A Story All About How...

A HALLOWEEN DOUBLE FEATURE!
The Neon Coven is BACK AT IT! Ryan is pumped to be joining his favorite wacky witchy pals for JANNIFER'S BODY 2.0 starring JAN of RuPaul's Drag Race! Last summer we set out to do Jannifer's Body at Radial Park in Queens, NY - however mother nature had other plans as we were rained out TWICE! Now we are back...and smarter...and performing at BK's 3 DOLLAR BILL. The show features the perfect blend of
90's'- 00's punk, rock, & pop songs with kickass arrangements by
Andrew Barret Cox. BUT, since this is a double feature... we immediately follow this concert with a "surprise" pop up of
ROCKY HORROR! With MORE kickass ABC arrangements, Ryan is hopping out of the spaceship as MAGENTA. Don't miss it!
