I sing so that my heart doesn't burst

About Me



I write and sing lots of different styles of music, but these days my focus is on my band Inner Frequency. Please check us out and add as a friend: www.myspace.com/innerfrequency. However, one band can't capture all of the styles of music that I write and enjoy, so I've put some songs on this page that reflect alternative styles that I've recorded. Join the mailing list

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 6/16/2005
Band Website: innerfrequency.com
Band Members: Of Inner Frequency: currently back to just me and Luke Carnevale, but we are on the lookout for our next band mates.
Influences: Every song that I've ever heard has influenced me in one way or another. I believe that we take in every note we hear from birth forward and (whether we know it or not) they all join together inside of us to come back out as our own music.
Just a glimpse into the music that I've enjoyed throughout my lifetime: old school jazz vocalists like Peggy Lee, Ella Fitzgerald and the blues singers like Etta James and Ninah Simone. Singer/songwriters like Tori Amos (seen her MANY times now!), Sarah McLachlan, Dido. Love music that makes me want to dance around my house or that I can go to a dance club and get lost to...mostly house/dance/trance/techno. I'm a child of the 70s and 80s, so I love electronica and retro from Depeche Mode to the Eurythmics to New Order, even Madonna and Prince. My current faves rotate out every few months, have recently seen in concert and am listening to a lot: Muse, 30 Seconds to Mars, Evanescence. Haven't seen but am enjoying: Panic at the Disco, Franz Ferdinand, Zero 7. Local acts that I love: Superstring, Likely Story, Bandmates, Invain.
Sounds Like: I get told that I sound like a mix of Natalie Merchant, Tracie Thorn from Everything but the Girl, Diana Krall, maybe a little bit of Melissa Etheridge when my throat gets husky or Johnette Napolitano from Concrete Blonde (loved them!!!) I don't think I absolutely sound like any one person, which I am proud of. I've always just tried to sing the way I sing instead of trying to mimic anyone's sound.
Type of Label: None

My Blog

Trying to live "in the now"

So I haven't written a blog since, hmmm, I think since I was kinda ornery and in my mid-winter blahs. Man, I hate winter!!! Seriously. I'm one of the few people I know who would happily stay in TX for...

Music, life, exhiliration, frustration...the never ending roller coaster

So I don't blog often about my personal feelings...guess I feel like since I use myspace more for band promotion that I shouldn't do that so much. But I am a real person and sometimes I just want to g...
