I recently read that it doesn't matter where you are in life but that you are taking steps towards your dream. Music is my dream. Since I was 2 years old singing with "Rocking Robin" (on repeat for 2 hours straight), to an adolescent trying to wail like Whitney ( my poor parents), to today where I am the conglomerate of so many musical intentions and dreams. Music is my meditation, the voice of my soul, and the calling of my heart. Two of the most powerful forces I have ever found are music, and silence. And so I seek out both actively. Silence is the drawing board of music. It is where the potential of vast melodies incubate until one day with gratitude they are revealed by grace. I dream of finding that voice, that voice which can relay clarity of this human experience. I will ever be learning, discovering, and growing myself; music is the way I tell my story.
I am currently involved in various musical endeavors but the intention of this site is to take steps as a singer/songwriter. I previously worked with a band called Discourse Poetic which was a catalyst in both moving towards this career, and in building the tools to do so. Still on fabulous terms Jarred (the other band member) and myself have moved on to our own solo projects. Today I am writing tonnes, learning even more, and trying to take a step every day, no matter how small, toward the desires of my heart.
So far the journey of music has taken me on a roller-coaster. I have loved everyone from Guns and Roses to Jewel, From Patsy Cline to Micheal Franti. I have been blessed to have found a number of artists that inspire and engage me. I thank them all, from those mentioned to many many more including Po’ Girl, The Waifs, Colin Haye, Sublime, and of course Ani DiFranco.
