I am a tenor and actor born and raised in Canada and now based in NYC. I have performed on many stages in North America and Europe. As well as opera, my love of theatre inspires me to be pursue projects as diverse as Off-Broadway as an actor, to musical theatre, to Greek repertoire singing the songs of my heritage. I also give private voice lessons in my voice studio in Astoria, NY since 2013, sharing all the singing wisdom I've had the privilege of learning from some of the great opera singers of our time.

After a very painful pause when the pandemic hit us, there was a brief glimmer of sunshine in the midst of it thanks to the Rogue Theater Festival in December of 2020. I played 2 roles in Wayne Firestone’s slightly surrealistic take on language and society divisions, “Rise Esperanto”, in the now sadly shuttered 13th Street Repertory Theatre. I was very happy to slowly emerge from the worst of the pandemic for reals in June of 2021 with a lead role in the English translation of “In Chorus”, a wonderfully “what-if” play by Dimitris Dimitriades with the Eclipses Group Theater NY. The following month I was Edouard in a staged reading of “Clothes For a Summer Hotel”, Tennessee Williams’ last play, produced by Regeneration Play Reading Group at the Gene Frankel theatre. In the Fall of 2021, I was the understudy for Beppe in New Camerata’s production of Cav/Pag, appropriately performed at the Muse, a charming Brooklyn space repurposed for an acrobat school. In the Spring of this year 2022, I made my debut in Mlle Modiste with reputable VHRP Live!, an operetta company that specializes in the works of Victor Herbert. I closed out 2022 with my Carnegie Hall debut in tribute concert to the legendary Greek composer Mikis Theodorakis on September 24.
The year 2023 started off with a bang in Feb/March, where I did a 2 week run playing Jason in a hybrid opera/theatre production of Cherubini/Euripdes’ Medea, with Fusion Theatre at the Theater For The New City. Right after that, I was cast in the lead role of Sylvan Phillips in Capriccio Radio, a wonderful play by Larry Rinkel produced by Modern Classics Theatre Company on Long Island, depicting the trials and tribulations of a classical music radio station.
