About Me


Take one magickal girl with a brain and one KORG Triton and that's what you will see and hear at this site!

I've been in the underground/industrial/goth scene for some time as a performer [vocals, keyboards, drums, programming, dance, guitar] and songwriter and have been conjuring some cool stuff [like organizing a couple of international tours to fun places like Chernobyl, Moscow, Warsaw, Siberia and throughout California] and with a bit of acclaim here and there--"We Are Magick" (written by me and performed by The Power of 3) getting airplay and club play from California to Europe's a pretty sweet treat...Mick Mercer putting me in his "Hex Files: the goth bible" a couple of times made me smile...and Octavia and Outburn magazine were the first to hype my old band "universal black".
California live performances include Malibu, Hollywood, Los Angeles and San Francisco, most notably The Dume Room (9x before its demise). The Canyon Club. The Garage, The Smell, Spaceland, The Cat Club, Zen, Goldfinger's, The Gig, Club Vodka, The Joint, Lennon Studios, Maritime Hall, Kimo's, The Cherry Bar & Lounge, The Haight Street Fair and the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium. On the other side of the world, the stages of some very trippy places--Chernobyl, Warsaw, Moscow and Siberia--have been my musical stomping ground...and I've gotta say, the European and Russian audiences really know how to rock!
For me, music and magick are what make life. I'm into the song, not the solo. I'm a pretty prolific songwriter with over a hundred tunes in my vault. At least 30 are "hits" (in my own unbiased opinion...wink wink...but seriously, I know when I suck and I know when I'm on and I'm most likely my toughest critic). I like writing emotional "soundtrack" material as well. I'm really into melodies and counter-melodies. Rhythm. Groove. Bottom. Tone. Style. Edge. That's where I like to play.
My band "The Power of 3"--having only two human members--effectively turned me into the drummer and bass-player as well as frontperson/keybardist/vocalist, etc. I was dubbed "MIDI-Girl" by a prominent Marin producer, but I'm not an engineer by trade--still, what I produce with my Triton and little Zoom MRS-4 is sometimes kind of awesome [...hey, the legendary Malcolm Dome aired my production of The Power of 3's "We Are Magick" live from London on Total Rock Radio...and so did KDLE/Indie 103 FM in Los Angeles... "Magick" is currently seeping through all of Europe as well as the US, reportedly being "repeatedly requested"].
I promote love, fun, knowledge, independent thinking, getting people to connect and believe in magick again--making music, magick and love are my favourite things to do. I strive for the highest consciousness. I would like to connect with complementary beings to work/play with, who would like to be a part of making something awesome happen--for fun and prophet.
