About Me

i'm the singer for Reliquary , a dark band based in Phoenix, AZ. get our mp3s here and add the Reliquary myspace profile here .

Reliquary was recently signed to Final Joy Records and they released our first album, Winter World, on May 9, 2006. You can purchase a copy of your very own at shop.finaljoyrecords.com .i'm married to the love of my life, and we're kinda boring old people who like to sit at home and snuggle, take care of our house and each other.

i work 40-60 hours per week at my job, which is rather uninteresting. i recently earned my Master's degree in voice performance pedagogy. i teach private voice lessons as well.

i love to read and draw in my (nonexistent) spare time. i'm a grammar and spelling freak. i can fold my tongue into a "w" shape but i can't touch it to my nose. bored yet?

My Interests

Music:

i love music!

some of my favorite bands are, in no particular order:

the Cure, the Smiths, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Bauhaus/Peter Murphy/Dali's Car, Current 93, Death in June, Joy Division, Sopor Aeternus, Corpus Delicti, the Merry Thoughts, Bella Morte, Faith and the Muse, Strange Boutique, Christian Death, Clan of Xymox, Diamanda Galas, Sisters of Mercy, Dead Can Dance, Autopsia, Deine Lakaien.

i sing opera and art song in addition to being in the band. my favorite composers are Faure, Debussy, Wolf, Robert and Clara Schumann, Mozart, Rossini.

Television:

i hate TV.if you were to catch me watching anything, it would be Invader Zim (or something on G4/Tech TV because i'm a closet geek).

Books:

i will read anything and everything. the last several books i've read are some Christopher Moore novels, Terry Pratchett novels, and a really interesting book on chaos theory.
