About Me

Music is my freedom, my one true love. I have been singing since I could talk. I started playing piano when I was six, saxophone at eleven years old, and was in choir and plays/musicals growing up. I was accepted into a musical theatre program my 1st year of college, so that is where some of my training comes from. Still practicing and performing music on the side, I formed a band with my friends in 1996 as lead vocalist. I've even been "the wedding singer!" I have written a bevy of songs over the years and am just now starting to compile and record them--- for nothing more than to show family and friends. I hope you enjoy!
