About Me

I'm an eternal optimist who likes being happy but can often be moody. They say that's how us cancerians are, so I'll just blame it on my zodiac sign. I had a pretty simple childhood growing up on a farm in Kansas. I got into music at a young age and have always wanted to be a musician, my brother and I started our first band "Singe" back in Hays, Kansas in the late 90's. I moved to LA after college and together with some friends formed Shitting Glitter, the band I'm currently in. (Please check us out at Myspace.com/shittingglitter
Our new EP, as well as our last album, are both available at Amazon.com - just click on the covers down below.)
I live in West Hollywood with my boyfriend Dylan, we have been together over 5 years now. I love living here in California but I still love going home to Kansas whenever I can.
