About Me

Thanks so much for visiting my MySpace Page :)

I am a SF Bay Area native whose dream of performing meaningful and heartfelt songs has been with me all my life. As a kid you could find me on any given day dancing around on my bed with a coke bottle microphone singing to an adoring audience of dolls and stuffed animals. Whether singing along with Gary Lewis and the Playboys, Linda Ronstadt, or Van Halen, my fans loved me! On my 12th birthday my father gave me my first real guitar after an inspired visit with my sister, who played for me and sang like an angel. Thats when the lightbulb went off!

As a kid I played for anyone who would listen and wrote many songs. Im sure they werent very good (written by a 12 year old) but I remember the title of one of my songs, "the soft colors of butterflies"..

ok, so there ya go. My early musical career lasted a few years until my crazy teens.After a 20 year hiatus, I picked up the guitar again and was unpleasantly surprised to discover that it is nothing like riding a bike! I felt so uncoordinated playing. Oh, and trying to sing AND play at the same time? It has been a journey and a stuggle at times, but I am so happy to have come back to my passion.I hope you enjoy!
