My family started out in the Bronx. The NY metropolitan area was a wonderful place to grow up, a vibrant place rich in culture, education and a thriving Arts community. My family had ties to show business at the Ed Sullivan Theater, where my uncle, Eddie Lynch worked. Growing up, celebrities and show business people were both household names and customers of my dad's who worked across the street at a Cadillac Dealership. My mom worked as a model. Our family was part of show business glamour. I fell in love with the piano at an early age and began taking lessons in NY at the age of 6. I was very influenced by my uncle, who visited often and the excitement of the musical talent that was broadcast into our living room, from just a few mile away at the Ed Sullivan Theater.

When I was 14, our family moved to Las Vegas to be near our uncle, who had become the stage manager of Caesar's Palace.

Eddie spent his entire life in show business, beginning his career as a singer / dancer in vaudeville.

He later began working on the business side of show business in NY and eventually moved to Las Vegas working at Caesars Palace. I spent countless hours with him backstage as a teenager, where I met and heard some of the most iconic entertainers of all time such as Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, The Jackson Five, Ike and Tina Turner, Liberace and countless others. It was an incredible experience that influenced and shaped my life and my career. I began a performing career at the age of 20, playing in night clubs and on ships. I relentlessly perused my goal to become a professional. After auditioning for a job to play on board a cruise ship to Alaska, I won the audition...but the ship turned out to be an expedition to the Northwest Passage in the High Arctic. It was a perilous adventure to a place where many who'd gone before, never returned.
