I began to work the stage and get the audience into it. I also learned how to have fun out there. It is something I will never forget. ↗

I didn't want to be the typical teen idol. I didn't want to be Leif Garrett. I didn't want to be Shaun Cassidy, David Cassidy or Parker Stevenson. I wanted to do my own thing. ↗
