About Me

Hello everyone, and welcome to my very official myspace page. I've started recording a lot more, so I hope you guys are liking what I have been putting up. Its definitely a learning process, but I'm doing my best. Song writing is super important to me, and I definitely plan to start really focusing on that (alongside theater things) this year because I will have so much more time to be creative. I'm a musical theater performer, hoping to at some point get my degree in musical theater. When? I dont know, and who cares really, I still plan on performing in shows for as long as I'm around. I'm also the vocal director for the So Cal extension of Belasco Theater Company (I grew up performing in the Nor Cal edition), and work for James Michael (producer/songwriter/SIXX:AM frontman). Check out his myspace, he's in my top friends!

Hmm... what else? Food is very important to me. I love my Family. I love my Friends. I love learning. I love to dance. I love movies. I love records. I love to travel. I love exploring. I love making home videos (no, not the dirty kind, haha). I love to write. I love to dream. I love meditation. I love tattoos. I love talking and giving advice. I love songwriting. I love Harry Potter. I love musicals. I love hugs. I love Tony Bennett. I love christmas lights. I love any kind of Asian Cuisine. I love fundraising. I love parades. I love cooking. I love languages. I love to cuddle. I love fireworks. I love slippers. I love kissing. I love guitars and any other instruments really. I love big cities. I love Yoga. I love that sound at the movie theater that shows you how good their system is... that resolving chord thing. I love things that move me. I love live shows. I love culture. I love performing. I love teaching. I love piggy back rides. I love bright colors. and I LOVE laughing.

Anyway, check out the Heroin Diaries page, featuring "Life is Beatuful" by Nikki Sixx, DJ Ashba, and James Michael.
