About Me

I've been into music since I was a little kid. My dad was in a local band, and I really looked up to him for that and my mom was really into music so I was exposed to it often from both of them. Everybody has something they turn to in order to escape, to help them get by, for me it's always been good music. I don't know exactly when I started writing, there's old video tapes of me when I was real little making up songs off the top of my head, and I guess it's just continued. Of course growing up in a little Iowa town there's not a lot of people who support you if you decide you want to make music your life, and even less people who believe you'll really do it. Hence my current problem: no band...I guess when you're a girl people automatically assume you want to be some airheaded pop star, so they don't take you seriously. I'll show 'em.

No, I haven't fallen off the face of the Earth...

Ok, so I'm really really bad at keeping up on my blog...I'd say it's because I'm busy, but that would mostly be a lie: I'm just lazy! *laughs* So, for those who haven't heard the latest gossip I got t...

No Bands In Iowa....

....And that's sad. Really sad. I've made it a habit of taking a few minutes each day to find cool new bands on myspace. As fun and everything as that is, it's pretty depressing how many are NOT in Io...
