about
Originally from Venezuela, South America, Rudy knew he was meant to be on stage from a very young age. Beginning with his first church musical at age 5, he was never afraid to take the spotlight. He was in every band and choir possible from middle school through high school and studied the saxophone for 7 years. Rudy pursued his study of music and graduated with a degree in vocal performance from the University of Northern Colorado. He focused his efforts on the classical genre while simultaneously performing in musical theatre, the university's top jazz group, and alongside one of the world's best known Latin guitarists, Manuel Molina. Rudy eventually moved to New York City where he started working in the the theatre and club scene. After only a month in the big city he landed the roll of Peter in Jesus Christ Superstar and shortly after Riff Raff in The Rocky Horror Show. For the last five years Rudy has been the power alto for the multi-award winning vocal group m-pact who was named vocal group of the year at the 2005 L.A. Music Awards. Rudy and m-pact have opened for and shared the stage with such acts as Boys II Men, Sheryl Crow, Take 6, Kenny G and Ray Charles. More recently Rudy was seen on television as one of American Idol's top 24 contestants. Rudy is currently in the studio working on his debut solo album.
