Biography
I have written over 10 songs as well as 2 books. When I am working on my acting or singing I am drawing. career. Currently I am working on my first album called Dreams and Poetry. Duane Thomas is the Executive Producer and Anthony Mazza is the Producer.It will be out by mid April. I hope you enjoy!!
My first single, “Dancing Through Life”, which I co-wrote with Jonathan George is a dance beat with classical flares. My next single “Romeo” is classical vocals over a hip hop beat played as a waltz. I really love and enjoy creating music that fuses 2 different worlds that profoundly belong together! That style is what I call Popera.
I have been in over 20 Musical Theatre plays. Some of my favorite rolls include: Wendy in “Peter Pan”, Young Bell in “Scrooge”, Evil Queen in “Snow White”, Queen Aggrivaine in “Once Upon a Mattress”, Lion in “Wizard of Oz”, Ida in “Honk”, and Glenda in “Wizard of Oz”.
I have also had amazing opportunities to work with some incredible people. I have worked and written 3 songs with Deborah Gibson (80’s Pop-Star and Broadway Star). Heather Provost (2009 Tony Nominee for Reasons to be Pretty) and her Husband Dan Callaway have been coaching me on my Broadway singing and acting style. I also study voice with rock star vocal coach Billy Purnell and study acting with Cynthia Bain. I also take theatre dance class with Angel Creeks (Broadway Dancer). It is amazing how each of these people have helped me to get where I am today!
HEY YOU! A mixture of power pop, glam rock, and songs that make your head bop! Made up of three dudes and one chick who bring a high energy, in your face act with songs that will be stuck in your head for days. And not to mention, they have a smokin’ hot lead singer with some pipes. With sounds of pop, rock, and punk influences, some would say that if you were to put Pink, Green Day, No Doubt & Wolfmother in a blender, you would get a taste of the Hey You concoction. So Drink up!!
We are the ones you dreamt of at night wondering when music was going to fully come back. We are nothing but the dreams of which you yourselves have created. Yes, we know! There has been a lack… a BIG lack in the rock department, and we are finally serving up what you have ordered. We haven’t come to mess around, because we never make messes… making a mess makes us and we have other people that clean that up. We are making it known, right now, right here, that we are taking over. We are the ones that have been resurrected in the skies brought forth and forged together to bring,… no,.. assemble, an army as one but equal to none.
Each leader of whom you should feel so lucky to even know their names has oddly enough their own special abilities, but when brought together of course form as one. You will be lead by Kyle Tkatch, Commander of Hey You Vocals. Her mesmerizing God given, organically grown, scrumpt-chili-doses damn good looks and not to mention super powerful vocals can not only put any man or women on there knees instantly in love, but can also take all their clothes off by singing one note. And then there’s the ladies man, Derek John, Major General for Hey You Guitars. His quick fingers and wailing razor sharp guitar leads can get stuck into you so fast it has been described as if you had a thousand ninja stars hit you at the same time. Brett DeCarlo is Head of Classified Intelligence Operations of Hey You Bass. His smooth moves on bass can cause earthquakes and is scientifically proven to be the only cause of them, look it up it’s a fact. Matt Thompson, Fleet Admiral of Hey You Drums, can’t help but indulge in his hard hitting, right on the money drumming. It has been known to cause a sonic boom almost every time he isn’t careful, one bad hit and poof your gone, nothing but ash.
So, consider yourself warned! We are currently in the studio recording our debut album…so watch out… we are coming for you! But there’s no need to hide or resist it…. why stay at home when you can come join us. Get your off your ass and we’ll see you at a show or shit…let’s throw a party!!!
Formed in fall of 2008, World Minus One is a female-fronted modern rock band that accents a ‘core’ rock sound with vocal harmonies, keyboard textures, and signature sonic effects. Hailing from Milwaukee, WI, the 6-piece group was quick out of the gate, making appearances on area radio stations like WLUM & WMSE, playing live on Milwaukee’s Fox 6 morning show, headlining appearances in the city, opening shows for bands like Collective Soul and Safetysuit, and being named national retailer Music-Go-Round’s ‘Band of the Month’ (June ‘09). In September 2009, the group independently released their first disc, a 5-track EP titled ‘Now or Never’. Pushing the envelope of independent releases, the band also released the leadoff track for the album, ‘Still Alive’, as a downloadable game track for the hugely popular ‘Rock Band 2′ video game (November ‘09). Established as one of Milwaukee’s most original-sounding rock bands, WMO is posed to attract regional and national attention as their music spreads.
