About Me

Well, let's see. I am originally from WPB Florida. I moved to Southern Cali 4 years ago, first to San Diego and now I live with my boyfriend and our 2 dogs in Venice, outside LA. I came out here to pursue a career in music. I am getting my degree as a Vocal Performance major with an emphasis in Opera. I also play the violin and currently gig with a string quartet around LA. I am teaching myself how to play the piano, mandolin, and guitar, and if I have any time left over I work on some of my own stuff. Music is my life! Other than that, I'm basically a fun loving person who loves to have a good time and misses my family and all my friends from back home. I love you guys! You know who you are.

My Interests

Music (duh!), writing, Horses, Greek dancing, soccer, reading, chess, traveling (I'm going to Greece in May!!!), astronomy, meteorology, philosophy, psychology (any kind of science interests me), mythology, Greek food (I'm trying to learn how to cook some family recipes, so far so good)

I'd like to meet:

I would love to meet Fiona Apple and Jewel. I'd have to say they have been my biggest inspirations.

Music:

I love most kinds of music but I find myself listening to a lot of old classics: Pink Floyd is my all-time favorite band, Led Zepplin, Van Morrison, The Doors, Steve Miller Band, Allman Brothers, Doobie Brothers, The Animals, and so on. Also love Sublime, Chili Peppers, Portishead, Jack Johnson, Feist, Neko Case, Susan Tedeschi, Haley Bonar, Kate Bush, Erykah Badu, Fiona Apple, Jewel, John Mayer. I'm also really getting into Mushroom Jazz like Mark Farina. Lately, I've been listening to a lot of fiddle music like: Nickel Creek, Alison Krauss, Charlie Daniels Band, and the like because yes, I want to learn how to play fiddle music too!!

Movies:

I don't watch a whole lot of TV but I'd have to say that my two favorite movies are still The Usual Suspects and Spaceballs. And if Pulp Fiction is on, I will always watch it. Also love Super Troopers and Office Space. I do love gangster movies: Carlito's Way, Scarface, Goodfellas, Casino, etc. And ya'll have to see my friend's independent film "Sinner"!!

Television:

Again, don't watch a whole lot but I won't lie, I do watch American Idol. My new favorite show is The Universe.

Books:

Hmmm. That's tough. I have a lot of favorites. I will basically read anything that's given to me. Some of my favorites are: "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance", "Eleni", "Life of Pie", and anything by Richard Bach. Anything about Astronomy. Anything that expands my mind.

Heroes:

My parents
