About Me

well...
I became fascinated with pajamas once and didn't wear pants again for 4 years. Then when I rediscovered jeans, it was life changing.
I remember being too scared to order my own happy meal when i was 4.
I can't keep plants alive.
In high school, my friend bruce "came into possession" of an attendance machine. I got an A in physics with 51 absences.
I also took 6 years of Spanish in school and can barely ask where the bathroom is.
Music has been the greatest love of my life and I've abused the hell out of her. But we're working it out.
I like ordering Shirley Temples. It's an underrated drink.
I find that I'm constantly amazed at how quickly and beautifully life can change.
-A few other things I've either won, done or been a part of:
Kik Tracee - RCA Records
Superfine - Fish of Death, Buddhapest Records
The Nervous Return - LaSalle Records
Dancing With the Stars - ABC
The Ghost Whisperer - CBS
Buffy the Vampire Slayer - WB
Buffy the Vampire Slayer soundtrack - TVT Records
Intervention - HBO
Urban Explorers - Discovery Channel
Starting Over - NBC
One Tree Hill - WB
Meet the Barkers - MTV
2006 Unisong Contest Winner - “Reminds Me Of You” - First Place
2006 UCLA Barry Manilow Lyric Scholarship Winner
America's Most Wanted - FOX
...and I'm in the studio right now working on my first solo cd with producers Kellie Chase and Cliff Williams (from AC/DC). I'm really excited about how it's coming out. It'll be available soon.
For more info, booking, etc.
