My dad fronted for Raphael Mendez and took us all to the concert---I should explain that he rehearsed with the band prior to the concert and it was a fundraiser and Mendez was a friend of my father's.
What gear do you use?

Who was your biggest musical influence growing up?
My father, Pete Sirna, a jazz trumpet player.
Are you in a band? Have you been in bands?
ot at the moment--but yes--I have sung in and with bands--right now everything is digital.
If you could jam with anyone, who would it be?
My father, Pete Sirna, because singing with him playing backup was like melted butter--so perfect!
What's the biggest audience you ever performed to? What's the smallest?
I don't remember--I only remember the music--mostly I sang dance gigs, proms and things like that.
You're stuck on a desert island and only get to bring one album with you. What do you pick?
I wouldn't be able to choose. I think I would take a Carpenters Album because they were so inspirational, even though the ending was sad.
