************************************************************ ****************************************************
For the last two years I've had the privilege to meet a ton of talented musicians in the MIA program at Fanshawe. It's been an amazing life experience for me and I've grown so much as a singer/songwriter since I started at Fanshawe College. The students and faculty are so supportive, it's an excellent environment to be in to create music. I've had the opportunity to experiment with many different styles of music and it has broadened my views and opinions on music in general. I hope to move to BC someday and be part of the music scene out there, and perhaps one day i'll go on tour and travel around the world. For now, I'm here in Toronto working in the business side of the industry, and hoping to start up a band here soon to gig around the Toronto Area. Thanks for stopping by my space!

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 11/24/2005
Band Members: Janet Turner
Influences: I've had so many musical influences in my life. I grew up listening to Golden Oldies and my parents' country music. I was later influenced by Celine Dion, Shania Twain and Leann Rimes as a young teen. During school I was in the choir which allowed me to learn a lot about choral music and harmony, and music in other languages as well. Since then I've been exposed to so many different artists and genres. So, my influences have broadened to anyone from Avril Lavigne, Fiona Apple, Evanescence, Sarah McLachlan, Michelle Branch, Alicia Keys, Norah Jones, Kelly Clarkson, Dixie Chicks, Amanda Marshall, Michael Jackson, Boyz II Men, Our Lady Peace, Silverchair, John Mayer, Jimmy Eat World, Eric Clapton, and so many others. I'm happy singing anything really, and what I write usually turns out pop, but I love experimenting with different genres.
Sounds Like: Usually sounds like a mixture of Evanescence, Kelly Clarkson and Avril Lavigne, but sometimes ends up sounding a little country at times, depends on my mood i think ;)
Type of Label: None

Lyrics Without A Melody

Lately I've been noticing I have no problem writing lyrics but when it comes to sitting down to the piano and trying to write a melody, anything I come up with just isn't what I'm looking for. If any...
