UNIQUE FACTS

  • Firstly, my creative journey in the performing arts began during my youth, when I took part in writing and performing three onstage events before the age of nineteen. These performances took place in middle school, high school, and college; each time, they garnered enthusiastic applause from the audience. 
  • Secondly, the inception of Rock The C-Suite occurred during the lockdowns imposed by the pandemic. Feeling trapped in urban Chicago, I purchased a condo in a charming resort town nestled high atop the bluffs, offering breathtaking views of the Mississippi River, located three hundred miles south of Chicago. During this time, I found solace in hiking through the nearby mountains for hours daily. During these moments of tranquility and escape from the harsh realities of the densely populated downtown area, I discovered the inspiration for Rock The C-Suite. Our setlist comprises songs based on wildly popular classic rock tunes. Each is reworked with tailored lyrics for our specific audience. To elevate the experience further, we incorporate themed improv comedy and feature onstage dancers, resulting in a truly extraordinary performance.
