Platinum Express

Troy has sung and played sax since he was 11 years old. Growing up in Marlboro, a small town in rural Northeast Ohio, Troy's Mom was a HUGE Elvis fan and his Dad introduced him to Ray Charles, so Troy grew up with the "right" music influences,

Troy played bari sax in school bands and college. He started out on alto, but once he got his hands on a bari, something clicked (more like "BLASTED!") and he has since preferred the bari sax for its power, tone and ability to "bring up the bottom" in any arrangement.

Compared to the likes of Peter Cetera, Paul Carrack, Steve Perry, Daryl Hall and even Sam Cooke, Troy was lead singer in Classic Rock and Rock bands since 1998. In Ohio, he sang and played with REW and Spun and in Kansas, he helped form and sang with Caprice Classic. Troy has actively searched for just the right mix of Classic Rock, Pop, R&B, Funk, Soul, horns, and harmonies — and finally found it in Platinum Express!

"Everything that I have learned and loved about music and being in a band, up to this point, has led me to Platinum Express. This is such an incredible group of not just extremely talented, very experienced and thoroughly skilled individuals, these are genuine, good people who truly love and enjoy music. I'm honored and have the privilege of learning from them and sharing their stage. —And if it seems like we're having the time of our lives, it's not an act!"
