About Me

I am a 20 year old country singer/songwriter from Dawson Creek, British Columbia, Canada. I have been singing since I began talking, and have been performing as a soloist since I was three. I have my grade eight Royal Conservatory in piano, and have been playing for twelve years. I also play the guitar and have dance training as well. I have taken several years of tap, jazz, and hip hop dance, as well as ballroom dance training. In 2006, I was a semi finalist (Top 100) in Canadian Idol and am a current three time semi finalist in the Pacific National Exhibition Talent Search directed and hosted by Mr. Red Robinson. I have also been a CMT Karaoke Star Semi Finalist. My greatest accomplishment to date has been when I opened for Country Superstar and Country Music Legend, Randy Travis. My band, The Troubadours, and I were the first act to perform at the EnCana Events Center in Dawson Creek, BC when we opened for Randy Travis; the opportunity of a lifetime. I have been writing songs since I was thirteen, and have just completed my first demo that is made up of my own original material. I love writing songs, and am blessed with a great family, supportive friends, and have had many life experiences and God to write about. I love writing songs that make people think;however I love a writing those comical songs as well. God has blessed my family and I so much over the years and I plan on using the gift he has given me for him. I am 5 foot 3, with long, dark hair, and green eyes. I love entertaining people and making people laugh. I am a third year Registered Nursing Student and am enjoying the challenge of balancing school and pursuing my dream of singing. I am very outgoing and love meeting new people. I like being outside; walking, playing with my dogs, quading, camping, going to rodeos and good ol' country dances. I have now made two trips to Nashville, which have made for some of the best experiences I have ever had. I met so many amazing people, and would love to move there; everyone is so nice in Tennessee!! I am just a small town, very small town girl, looking for my big break, and Lord willing, will find it.
