to gather up four talented young men who could sing and dance
and created this "Boy Band" which was very popular in the
90's. This is when Gary's singing career started. This tour gave
him the opportunity to appear in the Travel Channel's talent
show "Destination Stardom" in Honolulu, Hawaii in 1999. WOW!
Gary has Entertainment in his

everything from the Oldies, Disco, Country & Motown. His
