About Me

I'm mainly a self taught artist, though I did study at Berklee College Music for four years, where I received my Bachelor's Degree in Music Performance. My main focus is singing and songwriting, though I do play a bit of piano as well. I've been involved in performing and writing music since the day I could hold a pencil and a microphone in my left hand, but left the industry back in the end of 2000 when my stepdad became terminally ill with lung cancer.

I have only recently returned to my music after a 6 year hiatus, following the tragic death of my NUMBER ONE fan, my stepdad, who, sadly, lost his battle with cancer on January 19th, 2001. It's been a long and winding road for me, but after much soul searching, and several detours, I've decided to get my life back on track and pursue my life-long dream of becoming a professional singer/songwriter.

I am currently in the studios recording my first ever Christmas Album entitled "The Greatest Gift" as well as a Harry Potter fan fic and personally inspired album entitled, "Twenty-Two" (my stepdads old football number). Both albums will be available for sale by November 2007.
