Background:
Born in glorious WHITTIER, CA:
I've been passionate about music FOR-EV-ER and have been singing just as long. I love singing almost all styles of music and especially enjoy adding solid harmonies when needed. I've been performing solo and in groups since I was 5 and have recently begun writing again. Two of my original songs can be heard on this page.
In addition to being the mother and sole provider for my 10 y/o daughter, Brandyn, I had the privilege of working in the music department of a church in Fullerton for the past 5 years. As a result, I've been immersed in music, arranging, charts, harmonies, worship leading, music editing, choir and band directing, event coordinating, etc. It's been a great place to put the technical part of my music education to work and fine-tune my musicianship vocally and otherwise. I stopped working at the church in September to pursue music full-time. I play intermediate piano and guitar, can read music, and can sing and write many styles of music including Country, Gospel, R&B, Pop, Rock, Christian, Blues, Jazz, Folk and whatever they're calling Alternative nowadays (those whippersnappers!).
Singing and writing brings me incredible joy and I'm grateful for the privilege of doing something so fun and rewarding for a living. Aside from being with my daughter, my favorite thing to do in the world is take a song that someone has written and sing it for them, adding arrangements and harmonies (if they want them) to give it a life they might not have considered. It's equally satisfying to hear a song that I've written and hear how it has impacted others. Even if it never makes me rich financially, I feel rich because I'm doing what I love.
