JJ Caruncho

In his career so far, JJ has been blessed to tell incredible stories, and to train under/perform with more of his heroes than he'd ever dreamed. As a leading actor, JJ has gotten to play roles Off-Broadway in NYC, around the country, and internationally. Some of his favorite roles so far include Usnavi De La Vega in In The Heights, the title role in Hamlet in both London & Stratford Upon Avon, The Dreamer in The Suicide Notes, Arnold Wiggins in The Boys Next Door, and Bond in the indie film Shaken. As an Operatic Tenor, Musical Theatre, Jazz, and Gospel singer, JJ has trained in the Bel Canto studio of great American Soprano Karen Nimereala (protégé of the legendary Franco Corelli), as well as with his hero and vocal mentor Tituss Burgess, and the brilliant Bill Daugherty. He has also been blessed to sing to sold out audiences at many of America's greatest concert halls, including Carnegie Hall in NYC, The Kennedy Center, Symphony Hall in Boston, Jazz at Lincoln Center in NYC, & many others. He can be heard on the Gospel album "Welcome" and recently toured the USA singing with the legendary Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra under the baton of one of America's great musical geniuses, Mr. Damien Sneed. A lifelong musician, JJ, a saxophone player, has played around the country. He's also an extremely dedicated Martial Artist with a special passion for helping to evolve his area of expertise, Close Quarters Combat; and, to that end, has developed his own blade system and his own training system, Kronos. He's honored to have trained humbly under many practitioners who he truly believes are some of the greatest Martial Arts Masters of all time. He is so excited to be joining with his sister, Natalie, a person and artist whom he has always admired so deeply, on this new adventure to bring magical storytelling experiences to you, our friends and audience.
