Sinister Mystery

I AM THE LIGHT IN YOUR DARKNESS

About Me

A BRIEF HISTORY

Born in Queens, New York. Currently residing in an icy cold vortex called the Midwest... I've played many different roles in the entertainment industry. As a tot, I was the comedy relief for a variety of stage plays in grade school. Loved (and still love) the stage energy. Oh! The feeling of holding the audience in the palm of your hand is immense & addicting!
I was a ballerina for a handful of years as well. Mostly group recitals. I've won trophies & 1st place blue ribbons for vocals in music competitions. I started playing drums when I was 8 years old. My dad had a set and he taught me percussion techniques. I've had vocal training and coaching as well.

ARE YOU EXPERIENCED

My influences are a multitude of talented and original artists, painless and painful experiences, and the environment which surrounds all of us. Major influences include: The Beatles, Stevie Nicks, and Nine Inch Nails. Quite the variety you say... I've played private residental parties, hole in the walls, biker bars, local bars. Performed at summer festivals, dance clubs, colleges, auditoriums, theaters, and RAVES. Been on local television shows, participated in MTV's Beach Band party back in 1994, played at CBGB's for NYU fest, opened for national acts, toured with indie bands, and many other events I can't remember.
I've been a member of the bands: Blind Mans Holiday, Smothered Mother, and Panoramic. Sinister Mystery is a solo project.
