About Me

Hmmm... I was born on March 15th in Pensacola, FL. Got out. Moved to DC played in clubs and bars there. I've shared the stage with Jennifer Holiday, Bob Mould, and Sophie B. Hawkins in DC. The music that comes through me is inspired by my experiences, people I've known or haven't known personally but am just moved by, and Life all encompassing. I'm inclined to be attracted to challenges, and moving forward to all the ups and downs, changes, and learning, bliss and love life has to offer. I'm here to create and share.
