About Me

Music is my passion in life and being a singer and songwriter provides a wonderful therapeutic outlet for me to explore and express my deepest feelings.My Lord Jesus has placed a call upon my life to minister to others through music & worship. Often music is able to reach into the deepest recesses of a person’s heart and mind and touch their soul. What a blessing it is for me to preach God’s Word through song, and I realize the immense privilege of serving Him in this way. We each have a responsibility to exercise the gifts we receive from God and my desire is to serve Him faithfully by learning from other more talented artists and being inspired by the Holy Spirit. I want to “let (my) life so shine before men, that they may see my good works and glorify our Father in heaven” (Matthew 5:16).In addition to singing about the love of Jesus, I love listening, writing & worshiping at church. I also enjoy various types of music such as County, Contemporary, Pop & Rock. Although they may be secular in nature, know that my heart first belongs to our Heavenly Father. Many of the songs that I sing have been influenced by country, rock and roll, blues and jazz. My prayer for my friends, fans & family is like that of King David of Israel: “"Show me the way of life, granting me the joy of Your presence and the pleasures of living with You forever" (Psalm 16:11). In 1999 I had a life-changing encounter with Jesus Christ and my life has never been the same! I was born and raised in Orange County, California. My parents were both great role models for me and my two older brothers, they loved helping those in need. I loved hanging out with my friends and spent many years surfing the local beaches here in Orange County. As a young adult I began to study martial arts, which I still practice. Spending time at the beach is still one of my favorite pastimes; The sound of the waves crashing onto the beach is so surreal for me. I appreciate still living in this beautiful place in the world.I am so blessed to be a Mom and I have three sons and a daughter. Recently a beautiful baby girl was born into our family. My family is very important to me and I treasure my relationships with each of my children.  I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)
