Vocal Range: High Tenor (B2–C5, explosive high belt and dynamic falsetto)
Singing Description & Tone: Youthful, desperate, and fiercely resolute. Needs the soaring, passionate belt and emotional vocal control of Jeremy Jordan (Newsies – "Santa Fe") balanced with the raw, tortured, raspy edge of Casey Cott (Moulin Rouge! – "El Tango de Roxanne") as the desert curse takes its physical toll.
