Silence is my canvas; music, my escape.

About Me


singer / pianist / songwriter / drummer

"It all starts with the piano. I sing and write songs to keep from going crazy. I play drums in high heels and I’m not afraid of what people think of me."

One of those people to know exactly what she wanted to do very early in life all on her own, Trish got to work immediately after the first time she heard music. She used whatever means were available to explore her musical creativity--a tiny toy keyboard and some pots and pans--to begin teaching herself by ear, composing original melodies of her own, and dreaming of performing all around the world someday.

Formally trained in classical/concert piano, classical ballet, and vocal training with a professional opera vocal coach, Trish was the Choir President and Soprano Section Leader for a choir that performed at Carnegie Hall in New York City in 2005, as well as a member in the chamber choir, madrigals, musicals, swing choir, and vocal jazz groups. She has had drum lessons, studied music theory, speaks Spanish in addition to English and some Italian, and has been a published poet since the age of nine. Discovering her natural love for the camera through modeling and gaining experience from behind the scenes of the rock and roll industry taught her that despite a shy personality early in life, she was born for the stage. Her wandering across the country from her hometown of Joliet, Illinois, to Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas, to Northern California soon earned her the nickname "the drifter," led by her dreams alone...

Trish is very creatively open-minded and versatile, and thinks of herself as a composer before a pianist, and a pianist before a singer. She is in the process of learning to play as many instruments as possible, including the banjo, accordion, violin, bass, mandolin, ukulele, and guitar, and has some unique performance ideas involving her strength at live improvisation, her ability to play multiple musical instruments, and utilizing her experience as a former dancer, creating a very captivating live presentation. At 21 years old, she already knows that she has extraordinary life experience, unique originality and talent, exotic Italian looks, a free-spirited, clever, and open-minded personality, and fresh individuality to offer the entertainment industry.
