[1] After obtaining his degree in 2000, Dorian moved to Florida and became a personal trainer, performing in bars around the Tampa Bay area on the side.

After his short stint in cruise ship entertainment, Dorian went to Branson, Missouri in 2005 and found a year of work in two tribute shows entitled Lost in the Fifties and Stuck in the Seventies.

Having proved himself to the company, Dorian acquired a much coveted spot in the Festival of the Lion King in Disney's Animal Kingdom[1] from 2007 until 2009, when he first learned of the audition for his biggest break yet.

After tenor Kevin Wright announced his leave from Rockapella in August 2009, the group began a nationwide search for their newest band member.

Dorian continued to do showings of the Festival of the Lion King at the Walt Disney World Resort, playing the role of Nakawa, while he lived in Orlando, Florida and wasn't on tour with Rockapella.
