About Me

Hello! I am 17 years of age and I am a pianist. I write my own
music as well as record covers (all in piano) of my favorite
rock bands and some other artists I like :] I play completely by
ear and cannot read sheet music (well barely, just so minimal
I don't even acknowledge I can read JUST a tiny bit). I love
music and have dedicated a lot time and effort into it. As you
can probably tell, The Used are one of my main influences and
are the band I cover songs from the most.

Songs Ive recorded or currently re-recording are...
Blue And Yellow - The Used
Hard To Say - The Used
Sometimes I just go for it - The Used
On My Own - The Used
Smother Me - The Used
The Bird and The Worm - The Used
You're Not Alone - Saosin
Cancer - MCR
Disenchanted - MCR
My Heart Will Go On - Celine Dion :P
First Time Ever I Saw Your Face - Roberta Flack
Dreamer - Ozzy Osbourne
I'll Be Seeing You - Jo Stafford
Im working on plenty of other songs from The Used, MCR,
Linkin Park and more. Not to mention the music I have written
myself. Ill put that list up after I confirm the names of each
of the songs :]
PLEASE do not ask for the sheet music. Ive clearly
stated I don't even know how to read sheet music ... and to
even suggest Ive read it from somewhere is an insult to me
since I've spent many hours arranging and recording
these songs ;) I wish I could help you but I just simply can't :<[br /> I recommend trying to learn it by ear if you are able :D Its
alright if you have asked in the past. Im just letting the new
people know whats up :)
As far as downloads go, I won't be offering them for
downloading due to the fact people like to steal things. Ive
seen a few MCR fan sites where a couple people ripped my
song off a video a friend made for me and offered it to download
to other people. Its flattering and all but its still illegal, since
I own the copyrights to the arrangement (Not the song its self).
Also im not on a label, and when I start selling CD's you will
be helping me go through college and HOPEFULLY further my
career in music
All of you have been so nice to me every bit and EVERY song play and every page view and every
message and every comment. You guys are freaking awesome.
You have helped me get 50000+ plays and even got me up to
the top 20 of the myspace classical music charts. Just recording
has been taking so long because Ive encountered SO many set
backs and have almost gave up, but I still want to get this done.
It means soooooo much to me. I may be slow when replying
to messages but I DO try and reply to every single one.
Comments, not so much since they are hard to keep track of :P
One of my main goals is to get over my anxiety and to start
playing places. It would feel amazing to travel around
sharing my music and passion with people.
Once again thanks for your support and I freaking you guys lol :]
PS: I go to quite a bit of shows in the southern California Area.
I usually post a bulletin if im going to one, and I normally bring
a Free Hugs Sign!!! :] So you should say hi!

Visit my Friends page and leave her some love :]
I try to reply back to every comment :] Messages are easier to keep track of. If I don't reply, remind me hahaha :P
