About Me


Myspace Layouts - Myspace Editor - Image Hosting

I have been playing drums since 1992. I started playing funk and hip hop music around the bay area and eventually started touring. During a break from the road, I went back to school to get my accounting degree and worked as a tour accountant for a while. I have been playing drums with Eric Martin since 2000. I played drums and did some engineering on his last three solo albums. We have toured the US, Japan and Europe. I have played and/or recorded with the following artists: Eric Martin, Merl Saunders, Zoe Ellis, April Grisman, Sage, Susan Z, Kiff, Greg Scott, About Face, This Side Up, Original Funktion, Fuse One, YIKES!, ODOS, Caitlin Cornwell, Ledisi, Wall St., Colin Blades ...and many more. In addition to performing, I do music management and booking. I have been managing Eric Martin since 2002 and booking a handful of other acts. Besides that, I'm a full-time mommy to the most amazing boys on the planet, Dylan and Jake!
