Buddha's Sister

About Me

My songs are my story.
I never took many formal lessons on guitar aside from learning the basic chords. I never wanted to really learn how to play other people's songs. I was interested in writing my own songs and melodies. Aside from that, I wanted to create my own sound and style and so I thought the best way to do this was to practice my own songs and develope my own style.
When I was a little girl, I used to write songs on the piano and work out melodies in my head. If I ever wanted to play a song I heard, rather than learning how to read music, I would sound it out on the piano.
In high school, I took the greatest course of my life called Music Appreciation. Which translated to sitting on the lawn, playing my guitar for an hour every day and having to write a song a semester. "The Good Ol' Days".
In college, I went to USC film school and wrote and played a couple songs for my friends films on the guitar and piano.
During my final years of college was when I really started writing a lot of songs. After graduation I started playing out around town in a bunch of bars and clubs. I have always loved music, writing, singing and performing and I will always continue my path of creation.
