Mel Friedman

An intricate part in Theo's life was Mr. Mel Friedman (now deceased). Theo feels amazingly honored to include Mel as a person having a tremendous impact on his musical story. Mel was not only a personal friend but also one of Theo's TRUE believers to the point of ultimately becoming Theo's personal manager! Mel financed and recorded Theo's very first CD, booked several impressive private events on Theo's behalf, and introduced him to the scene at several fine dining establishments that featured entertainment such as Al Baker's, L'Auberge, along with the Hotel Majestic that featured a "Just Jazz" Program with tributes to greats such as Frank Sinatra and Nat King Cole. Mel truly felt deep in his heart that Theo would one day... MAKE IT! True to the call AND at one of the very venues Mel positioned Theo in, the Hotel Majestic is exactly where Theo was discovered!
