About Me |
|
Landon Beard began his performing career at three years old as a soloist for a Kodak commercial. He comes from a family of professional musicians who allowed him to further his talents and knowledge. Since those early years he has spent many hours in the studio, recording numerous television and radio commercials. He grew up in San Diego, California where he continued his work in the recording studio and found that he enjoyed life on the stage. He has since earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in musical theatre from Cal State University, Fullerton. Shortly after his 2001 graduation, Landon appeared in the Hollywood Bowls Show Boat and The Great American Concert. He has performed across the United States with various theatrical productions and vocal groups, and his voice can be heard around the country, advertising for such companies as Toyota, NBC, Warner Bros, Pepsi, and Disney. Landon has enjoyed the last three years touring with Frankie Valli as one of The Four Seasons, They have performed all over North America. Now he is thrilled to make his Off-Broadway debut as one of the Altar Boyz! Hes packed up and moved out, excited to see what New York has to offer. Much love to all of you out there!
