He has great comic timing and a rich voice that is comfortable at both the top and bottom of his range.

However, the recital was cancelled due to the Coronavirus pandemic. Instead, the piece will be premiered in August 2020 as part of the annual Savannah VOICE Festival Gala. The text begins with a short introduction written by Jonathan Walker-VanKuren followed by an translated excerpt from Rainer Maria Rilke's 10th letter to a young poet named Franz Kappus. The text can be found below. // I want to be a singer. When I wake up, I want nothing more than to be a singer, to be an artist. Art is just a way of living, and however you live, somehow without knowing, you can prepare for it; In that reality, one is closer to art than in the unreal half-artistic professions… In a word, I am glad you’ve withstood the danger of landing in one of those professions. I am glad you have remained steadfast and brave in this harsh reality. And I am glad you have pursued your love of art, May the coming year support and strengthen you in that.
