About Me


Check out my new website!!!
I have been gigging forever it seems. I love to perform! I started out singing into a hairbrush (rough bristle...DAMN!) to Pat Benatar and Tony Basil (sorry to admit). There...I sealed my fate: Boogie Oogie for the masses with the periodic "Magic Man" thrown in for good measure and sanity. My dream has always been to compose and record my own music. Now, finally, my first original EP is near completion.
The CD will be available in MARCH 2007! I want to thank everyone who has expressed interest in purchasing the CD. I will compose a very spritely bulletin for all of my myspace friends when it's ready. Then, I'll do my happy dance! :-)
One of my defining characteristics is that I am a vegan. Compassion is my practice, for all living creatures. Integrity is our most powerful tool; living by example and in congruence with our deepest-held beliefs. For more info, log onto ARFF.ORG, PETA.ORG, or MILKSUCKS.COM. Education is freedom. Long live wheatgrass. I have a seriously cute sense of humor due to an unusually open mind, but I do take this practice seriously. Do not burn the cross :-)
"The time will come when men such as I will look on the murder of animals as they now look on the murder of men."
-Leonardo Da Vinci
I believe in the power of expression, and am all about breaking the shackles of repression. We each have been given a voice, yet most of us remain silent. As long as this passive silence persists, we leave it up to the few who dare to speak to effect a change in the world. Care2.com is a great website ot visit if you want to become more active in supporting the causes you believe in, and have little free time to dedicate to your beliefs. Sign some petitions or something. It feels good.
I live for inspiration, and I often find it in a song. Sometimes even in my own. I hope you will, too.
Thanks for visiting my myspace profile!
Have a peaceful, disruptive, cruelty-free day.

Sounds Like: My songs are very autobiographical. Live out loud, baby! I try to create an intimacy and a rawness with my lyrics and vocal lines. Every one of us can relate to these feelings. I find that music creates connection. I feel very priviliged to be able to share my art with people. Being evocative is simply a part of my nature :-)
My best composition, however, is my son Kyle. HE is my love song :-)
I hope you enjoy my music. Please let me know what you think!

The Love of My Life

My music is taking sooooo long to finish, so I felt inclined to post the lyrics to one of my songs. It's called "You Were A Child" and it's, of course, about the love of my life :-) YOU WERE A CHILD S...
