Born in the capital city of Phoenix in the state of Arizona and thriving with motivation at the young age of 10, this artist knew that he had what it took to be a "Somebody". His name its-self is a nickname given to him as a young child after playing with a hair-holding pin in an electrical socket. Luckily for young Shock, the voltage in America is only 110 volts! His very first release as a dance artist, Shockwave brings a quality entirely of his own to the Eurythmic’s original pop classic "Here comes the rain again". The single has debut in 14 countries with no intention to slow down. Shockwave is ready to take the stage with his powerful vocals and present a high impact show with his dancers. With the encouragement and assistance of his childhood photography teachers Angie Dimaggio and Sue Wright, Shockwave was shaped and encouraged to pursue his passion of becoming a “somebody”. He gained professional dance lessons from a /choreographer named Kim Dorsen who was aquatinted with Paula Abdul at the time; this would prove to be very beneficial for the future. Not many can say that they have had the chance to work closely with their idols. Prince was the first celebrity he had seen in concert and eventually was lucky to later work with him. His first high profile appearance was in Los Angeles on a few music video shoots that led him to work with Michael Jackson on the set of Disney's 3D spectacle Captain EO that was directed by George Lucas and Frances Ford Copula.
