About Me

I have been singing since I was little kid, knew some lines from an opera my dad was writing when i was 1.5 yrs old. When I was a small child I got to sing into a tape recorder for hours and hours, and I made up songs about some imaginary person named billybob and his relatives. I also wrote one with guitar called 'oh the train went down the tracks' which was about leaving my sister behind on vacation. I wrote pop songs about boys in middle school on a casio keyboard when I wore abercrombie and fitch. Now I find guitar to be semi-suitable for backing up my voice, but I in no way claim that I know how to play it. I sing about drama and about fucked up shit, and sometimes some sweet lovely songs too.
