About Me

Currently, I am the vocalist for 80's Tribute band, DECADENCE, And, the vocalist for ODINSEYE, an original band. Plus, I have my hands in a few other projects, too..........
I am a Dedicated and Committed Female Rock and Metal Singer / Vocalist from the New England area whose styles include 80's Rock, Hard Rock, Hair Metal, Heavy Metal, and Progressive Metal.
I have been singing in bands, acoustic acts, and side projects for many years. I have written and recorded with many local musicians, and am always available and interested in doing more!
Music is a huge part of my life. I feel very fortunate to have the ability to sing, and share it with people, and love the opportunity to perform!
I'm all about 80's rock and metal! Hopelessly trapped in the "Decade of Decadence", hence the name of the band. I think all guys should have long hair, tight ripped jeans, and be 80's metal hot!
I am a very friendly, outgoing person, and love meeting new people, and making new friends.
When I'm not working (yes, unfortunately, I have a day job), writing and recording music, or playing with the band, I am definately a party girl! Love to laugh, and have tons of fun! In my opinion, life is too short to be miserable. Get out there, and live your dreams!!!
I am very lucky to be healthy, happy, and have such great family, friends, and fellow musicians in my life.
Remember, kids, if it's too loud, you're too old!!
ROCK ON! And, always keep it metal!

Rewind

Influences: My BIGGEST inspiration is the Metal God himself, Rob Halford (vocalist for Judas Priest)!

This guy has it all! Power, range, versatility, conviction, control, vibrato....the whole package!

There are so many others....Michael Sweet (Stryper), Tim "Ripper" Owens (Iced Earth), Geoff Tate (Queensryche), Sebastian Bach (Skid Row), Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden), Ray Gillen (Badlands), Freddie Mercury (Queen), Steve Perry (Journey), Mike Metajevic (Steelheart), etc.......I could go on and on!

While most of my influences are male, I do have a few female inspirations: Joan Jett and Doro Pesch. Ultimate 80's rocker chicks!

Basically, any vocalist who can sing melodically and passionately.
Sounds Like: Well, I am kind of a cross between Rob Halford, Geoff Tate, Bruce Dickinson, Kevin Dubrow, and Joan Jett.

I sing with passion, power, and conviction. I am fortunate to have good range and versatility.

You can check out clips for yourself up above in the player. Some are pro demos of cover songs, others are original work that I have done. You can also check out live audio and video performance clips of me with DECADENCE by clicking these links:

Sending out good thoughts to Decadence bassist, Dave...

I was thinking of Dave today.  Actually I think of him often. Hoping for the day when he will walk again, and rock out on the stage with all of us again.  We miss you, Dave!! I look forward to the day...
