Hey All - I was born in November 1984, I currently live in Battle Creek, MI although I am from a small town about an hour away called Centreville. I must admit I am growing accustomed to the big city life, Battle Creek isn't the hugest city around but I have to take baby steps... I came from a one stop light town here people. That is where my love for music stems from... being in a little town you don't have much going on, it was all I could do to get my music tuned in on the radio. I would sit up in my room all day belting out all the songs and eventually my mom came to notice, go figure. She had me start singing in Church on Sundays and some of the more important services; Christmas, etc.... I came to be known as Mariah Carey and Amy Grant to my Church family. It was always something I enjoyed but never really had the means to persue.That is until I started to hang out with Confusion 13, I tried to absorb everything that went on around the band, taking in and keeping track of details in my head hoping to maybe spark the interest of someone in order to get myself a chance to give it a try. And one day I did, the first song I ever sang with a band was Veruca Salt's "Volcano Girls" and that was all it took...I later wrote a song called Baby Doll, which somewhere along the lines went missing, and I stared practicing with a few guys from Confusion 13 and a few not. It was a rush, the first and only time we played out we only performed those two songs, it was at a family member's graduation party. After this time I think the guys didn't like being fronted by a girl, but either way that ended abrubtly. I left music alone for a while, singing in my car, the shower or at home while I was cleaning.That is until last summer, I was hanging around with a little band called Sever Red, RIP, while they were recording and Ian and I decided, the that time guitarist/mastermind of Sever Red, to try some stuff out on one of the songs that he created. It must have been a night and the next day before we actually finished what we started, once I finally got the process down it went much quicker... and that is where "Feeling" came from. Then I had a little snipit in one of The Lodger's songs ... I'm the creepy voice when the music cuts out.I must say it is very addicting, recording and hearing your own voice, especially in the ways you don't normally hear it. So shortly after we started on the second song, "Transparent", which, if you listen to all the way through you know that we are still working on. I'm trying to try out different types of music with my voice and give myself a challenge.I am currently working on getting some other things together and hope to get an EP together for anyone and everyone interested. This is all new to me and I am excited to hear what you think so let me know.
