Ok, here it is...my bio. Where do I begin? Hmmm.....in the beginning, while in the womb .... oh....just kidding! ;) Here goes:Born in Croatia, former Yugoslavia many, many moons ago. ;) I moved to the US in the '70's. Grew up listening to rock and roll. Loved all kinds of music but mostly drawn to rock. What can I say, it moves me. Always was a rocker chick at heart I guess! LOLStarted singing professionally in bands pretty early in my life. By that I mean actually getting paid for it. LOL At the age of 16, I was playing in rock bands in the tri-state area night clubs several times a week. Message, Boys Room, Double Trouble, The Gang, Energized and many more. All booked by Apollo Artist Attractions a well known local agency.One of my best experiences was working the Jersey Shore over several summers with Energized at the Playpen. As I recall, we worked 4 nights a week. The Playpen was a huge, huge venue and really an awesome place to play. Held a few thousand people. Big stage, big sound,lights....very cool. A rare opportunity. Check out some of my old videos of that on this page. During this time, I was also working with some local producers/engineers in recording studios like The Warehouse, met Bon Jovi there a few times although I am sure he doesn't remember. :) Sang on a lot of tracks there and at Studio 4, John Callaghan's studio and Jeff Gordon's studio. Recorded a national Carefree gum commercial at Jeff's. Made a little money with that one, thanks Jeff. ;)Left Energized to play the "original circuit" and wrote songs and recorded original material with bands in the Philly area like, Modern Cities, Red Reign and Bitter Sweet. Opened up for some excellent bands like Heaven's Edge, Network, Robert Hazard, John Eddie at places like the Empire Rock Club, The Galaxy, Bonnies, London Victory Club and the Trocerdero. Had some moderate success with the songs being played on local radio stations. I studied voice with Margaret Stefano-Curry, classically trained vocal teacher/guru who helped me learn to scream 3 to 4 nights a week without losing my voice.Presently, I am the lead vocalist for a Heart Tribute band called Kick It Out. www.kickitoutband.com. www.myspace.com/kickitouthearttribute. I am also in the process of working on a solo CD with an old friend and incredible composer, John Callaghan. Also working with us is the amazing, Bugzy Boyer, recording artist, composer, guitarist and vocal extraordinare. The CD will be out very soon. Lastly, I own, co-direct and teach voice at a small music school in the Philadelphia area. www.northridgemusicschool.com Hope to see you at a show sometime. :)
