Dez has performed in the Cincinnati area for about 6 years. He found a passion for theatre while exploring educational opportunities during the Covid lockdown of 2020. Since then, he's had chances to learn and grow through other programs, private instruction, and professional performances for many well renowned theatre companies and directors. Dez's passion for music and performance isn't limited to theatre, either. He plays instrumental music for his high school band where he's been accepted to All-State, Select Band, and his school's Wind Ensemble as a clarinetist in Campbell County High School (Kentucky). He's performed vocally in local cabarets and Cincinnati's May Festival where he had the honor of singing behind Renee Fleming in 2025, and he's offered his vocal talents to a studio recording for Sleepy Hollow: Musical Tale. Dez aspires to carry his passion to perform into college and beyond!
