Hey my name is Mercedes, I’m 14 years old. I’m a slave to my music and my guitar. I’ve been playing for about four or five years now. I’m that chick who will stay up all night long to write a song or to perfect that Metallica riff. I sing, play guitar, and the bass. I just recently started to learn the drums. Eventually, I hope to learn piano. Ironically, I started singing before I could even talk. I participated in musical theater almost my entire childhood and loved it; except for having to be super cheesy on stage. I wrote my first song when I was six or seven and have been writing ever since. I fell in love with the guitar after listening to metal for the first time, but my first guitar was an acoustic guitar so my singer-song-writer sound took off from there.
"Don’t be fooled by her apparent timidity - the microphone is Mercedes’ outlet. It was her voice and shocking enthusiasm that caused a caffeinated audience member to yell at a Kahili’s staff member to start charging cover. Needless to say, it was the first time we had seen so many heads nodding in unison at an Eastside coffee shop." ~Seattlest.com, September 22, 2007
