About Me

Here's some facts about me: I'm a Singer/Songwriter/Piano Player from Orange County CA. I've been writing songs for about 9 years now, and singing since I was born :-) Music is my passion and all I want to do for my lifes work. I'm a very dedicated artist and work extemely hard on my craft.

I've been playing around LA/OC at clubs like: The Roxy, Key Club, Genghis Cohen, Molly Malone's, The Coach House, The Viper Room acoustic lounge, Tangier, and The Gypsy Den. Live it's just me and my keyboard and the music, and in April 2006, I won an Orange County Music Award for Best Live Female Acoustic!

Please feel free to contact me with any questions or comments. I seek representation from someone who can believe in me and my music.
