Everyone is going to tell you to "be yourself" and I am just going to have to agree with them. If you want this guy to get to know you, you have to let him know you.
Wear something nice (because it will make you feel nice), talk about things that you enjoy and ask him lots of questions. Getting to know him will help you figure out what you have in common.
As for the singing, I would tell him that you love to sing, but don't show him just yet. It will keep him curious. I know when I first met my boyfriend, he told me he was an artist. I asked to see some of his work, but he said that the next time we hung out, I could. You can bet I went on that second date! I was so curious about his skills as an artist!
Anyhow, sweetness. Good for you making the first move!!
You sound like a terrific gal, I'll bet this guy will love you.
Have fun, sweetness!

Represent yourself as you really are! I wouldn't go in to this situation feeling like you need to sell yourself to him, your personality will do that all on it's own. I'd tell him you love to sing, but I wouldn't demonstrate unless he asks you to... he will learn you have a good voice all on his own. Relax, take a deep breath, remember your sense of humor, and have fun. That is all you need to do.

First of all calm down! I realise that first dates are nerve-wrecking events but this is about both of you deciding if you would like to get to know each other further. It is not a one-way street where you have to impress him, but he should impress you too enough to spare further time on him in the future. Don't pretend to be something you are not - just relax and be yourself as sooner or later he will find out what you are really like and that will be the basis for any real relationship. You don't have to tell him everything about you on a first date or think about what to say in advance. If you pair have any future then you must be natural in each others company and the conversation should just roll. Good luck!!!
