About Me

I am a songwriter/lyricist/multi-instrumentalist/singer/novice engineer-producer. In that order. With the last one being a recently discovered passion, thanks to the wonders of technology and home recording applications. :-) ____________________________________________________________ ____ Most of my songwriting has been showcased with my former band, Juniper's Daughter, in which I was the singer/songwriter/guitarist/ since about 1999. Together, we recorded 2 full length CD's both of which had received good reviews. http://www.myspace.com/junipersdaughter ____________________________________________________________ ______ I have a professional certificate in Music Business from the Berklee College of Music, where I am also studying Music Production.These days I am turning my focus to writing, recording and publishing, and hope to have my songs licensed to other artists, TV, and Film. ____________________________________________________________ _______ Please check out "It Factor Music" from my Top Friends list, this is my songwriting partnership with Chris Matty. We'll be posting our collaborations on that page...Enjoy!*********************************************** ********************
