Cast from thousands of US / nation-wide hopefuls as a performer on VH1's, "Viva La Rock": a reality-TV show that asked the question, "Who answers 'musicians wanted' ads?" Obviously, I do.
Self taught bassist: no amp / ear to the wood. Played the supporting role of Sandra, the Vocalist / Bassist, in the feature film, "The Vacant Lot" starring legendary guitarist Grant Fullerton of Lighthouse (a 13-piece-rock band). The film chronicles the tribulations of a fictional, feminist, hard-core punk band that recruits a male lead guitarist for their first tour, and all hell breaks loose! Three months of band rehearsals before we recorded the grimy score, written by renowned conductor Scott Macmillan of the SNS Orchestra.
Also made several appearances on television promoting my music, including a segment on a TV show, which was broadcast live to millions of viewers: I'd not heard any of the tracks prior to the broadcast and got only one take to sing the vocals...hey, that's live TV for ya! It went over very well, and I met a great collaborator thanks to the show.
My music is featured on OurStage.com and MusicNation.com.

BURY MY REFLECTION
"Fuck the eulogy, just bury me already with 'dem bloody fingers, claw the dirt for this dead ringer. Fuck the eulogy, your love killed me; fuck the eulogy, your love killed me! *'He did not wear his scarlet coat, for blood and wine are red, and blood and wine were on his hands when they found him with the dead, the poor dead woman whom he loved, and murdered in her bed.' BURY MY REFLECTION, BURY MY REFLECTION, BURY MY REFLECTION!†*Excerpt: “The Ballad of Reading Gaol,†Oscar Wilde, 1897: Public Domain.
‘LIL GIRL WRONG
Hypnotic melody, kick-ass vox, a killer hook, and instrumentation / guitar solo by the inimitable J. Mayer of Billboard-Charting 10-WATT MARY! E. E. Cummings said, "Unbeing dead isn't being alive." To that end, a snatch of “'LGW’s†reflective lyric-scape: "Pistol slippin' into your side. This is all you have to realize. Comin' up for one more breath now. This is all you're gonna get now. Out I'm strung! The 'lil girl is wrong! Get me out've my head; just because you're spinnin' doesn't mean you're not dead!â€
5-GUN-BRAIN
"Desire, he led me to the gates where billions fell. Sucked my bloody wounds and then, we danced right through to "Hell." Jagged wheels are turnin’. Cemetery in my head: seeds of darkness buried deep, and everything is DEAD. Got a five gun, a five gun in my brain. Got a five gun, a five gun…in my brain..."
GONNA BE LIKE THIS
Don’t Let The Intro Fool Ya: a dark, melodic work with poetic lyrics and structural shifts between heavily distorted verses and a melancholic, haunting, balladic chorus. “Mr. Jones broke her bones; his horse, a champion true. She left these words he’d often heard, as he huffed the floor for clues: “Gonna be like this..." A MUST-LISTEN-TO-THE-CLIMAX PIECE: assured, it's deserving!
MAD
Mad: disturbed, unhinged; disordered in mind : insane; unrestrained by reason; incapable of being explained or accounted for; marked by uncontrolled excitement or emotion; marked by wild gaiety and merriment; marked by intense and chaotic activity : wild.
