About Me

Welcome to my new Artist page, dedicated to my passion: making music that moves you. I sing with two bands, currently: Aesma Daeva, a Symphonic Metal band, based in Minneapolis, Minnesota; and Therion, a progressive metal band, based in Stockholm, Sweden. In 2007, I participated in a year-long tour with Therion. This year, I'll be performing with Therion at a festival in Plock, Poland. I'm a freelance musician and perform with various groups in the Twin Cities. I've performed with many local groups. A few highlights: St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, Minnesota Orchestra, Monroe Crossing, VocalEssence, Dale Warland Singers and The Rose Ensemble. Directly below is a link where you can purchase Aesma Daeva's latest cd. Pick it up and be the cool kid on your block!
