Without music life would be a mistake!

About Me

I’m a singer, songwriter currently studying a Diploma of Music Performance. I was born on Valentine’s Day and I am typical Aquarian so I am a humanitarian, a loyal friend, brutally honest, intellectual, independent, original, inventive, easy going, open minded and patient. On the flip side; I’m free-spirited (which sometimes gets me into trouble - hehehe), eccentric, stubborn, unpredictable, unconventional, spontaneous and rebellious, with a wicked sense of humor.
When I was a child I dreamed of being a performer which I achieved through amatuer theatre (drama, musicals & comedy). I studied classical piano, trumpet, flute, clarinet and saxaphone at private school, playing the trumpet in the school orchestra. I began vocal training (opera and contemporary) when I was 12 which I continued until I was 18. When I was 15 I sang with my first band and discovered that I was "Born to Perform", finding the experience better than sex! (hehehe) I continued performing when and where I could, through to the age of 22 when I fell pregnant and was left to raise my son as a single parent. I decided to put my career as an entertainer on hold, studied and became qualified in Information Technology then went to work in an office. (HOW FUCKING DEPRESSING!!!!!)
I have experienced the pleasure of living in the world of wealth and the misfortune of living just above the poverty line. I can relate to people from all walks of life and I know that money does not buy happiness; "Money buys choices, choices buy freedom, and freedom buys happiness!".
After many years of being side-tracked, I am now back on the path I started out on. In pursuit of the ultimate rush ~ performing for a live audience! WATCH THIS SPACE!!
