About Me

MY CHILDREN AND MUSIC ARE THE AIR I BREATHE
I am the lucky mother of the two most beautiful children on the planet. They are my soul mates. Motherhood and music are my two passions in life, and I canâ€™t wait until the day I can combine the two and make music with my children.
Iâ€™ve sung everything from punk to jazz and I love it all. Iâ€™ve been playing and singing in bands since the tender age of 11, and studied Jazz at William Paterson University where I had the honor of meeting and studying with world renowned artists. I am currently the lead singer of FREQUENCY, the cover band that is taking NJ by storm. I'd put a link here if I knew how, but you can check out "my friends" to find us. WE RAWK BABY!
MY BREAST CANCER JOURNEY
Life has thrown me some pretty rough curve balls, but every time I think I canâ€™t take it anymore I find a way to pull through. June 8th, 2007 marked the two year anniversary of my breast cancer diagnosis. Iâ€™ve spent the last two years undergoing numerous surgeries and chemotherapy, and I just completed one of the last phases of my reconstruction. Happy to report I am now cancer free. I kicked cancerâ€™s ass! (and I have brand new boobsâ€¦really big ones!) Looking forward to the next phase of my life as a breast cancer survivor and advocate.
