Биография

TUCKER, The Retro Contempo Artist, is an out and proud singer-songwriter whose music celebrates self-esteem, sexuality and spirit. TUCKER has been heard on SNL, iHeart, Nickelodeon, with Carole King on The Today Show and with LeAnn Rimes and Mickey Guyton at Carnegie Hall. During the pandemic he stepped out solo on the soundtrack to the 2022 Emmy® nominated film CURED with THE OTHER SIDE OF THE RAINBOW, an “affecting LGBTQ-rights anthem” on the LA Times Oscar buzz playlist, which was nominated for a HMMA alongside Jon Batiste, Brian Wilson, Diane Warren, and Rufus Wainwright. After premiering a song for Stonewall Gives Back on a bill with Troye Sivan and Kim Petras, and singing in the Forum for Cultural Engagement’s Walt Disney 120th birthday show for the US State Dept.’s American Center in Moscow, TUCKER’s artist project went to the next level with the release of six fun, funky and fresh treats featuring his virtuosic vox. One of his latest, CAN'T HELP MYSELF, features Dr. Robin Stern invoking her term, “The Gaslight Effect." “What sets TUCKER apart is his material: richly-layered, melodic songs that sound contemporary but also recall an era when the Brill Building invented Top 40 radio, and some of America’s greatest songwriters ruled the airwaves. Close your eyes and you think Bruno Mars one moment, Neil Sedaka the next.” -HuffPo “TUCKER brings a new sound to what’s happening. He'll have the longevity and success that comes from being an original.” -Paul Shaffer
