About Me

It all started 'Down Under' at the age of six. Got my basic training in a children's choir singing everything from 4-5 part Bach concertos to Broadway tunes. Touring Australia and New Zealand. Great fun!Then I moved on to nightclub and restaurants, singing pop and R&B covers. Took piano and theory lessons (still am!) and joined a Brazilian cover band - This music never ceases to challenge and inspire me.I arrived in LA 10 years ago and decided that Jazz was my scene. Finding it to be a lifelong journey; The never-ending American songbook, talented (and surprisingly humble) musicians and a small but mighty audience.I took a hiatus from performing but plan to get out there again soon. Check my listings for 2008 dates. I hope to see / meet you there.
