About Me

I've been singing since about preschool (which is pretty long ago!), I sang in various ensembles for about 2 decades; I started songwriting at age 12-13 and around the same time developed an interest in synthesizers, samplers, guitar, and recording; I play a teeny bit of piano but, sadly, no guitar.On this page are some instrumentals I composed on ACID Music Studio; it's some clever and powerful software for just $69.99. Enjoy.
