Gypsys songs channel her deep life experiences through poetic lyrics and lilting, beautiful vocals. Growing up in a musical family, Gypsy wrote her first song at the age of five after hearing many of Mom and Dad's living room "jam sessions" with the likes of Tag Lambert (lead guitarist for Bob Wills), and others. Gypsy was inspired to pursue the life of a musical artist after hearing her Moms recordings on the local country stations in Arizona. Also, Gypsys uncle Don Rollins wrote the smash hit, "The Race Is On" recorded by George Jones, Ricky Nelson and The Grateful Dead. Writing is in her blood and deep in her heart.
After attending Arizona State University majoring in theatre arts, Gypsy was accepted into The National Shakespeare Conservatory in New York. She then moved to Greenwich Village and began singing at local clubs and open mics, then moved to L.A. to pursue a career in music and film. She continued to write and record songs, and eventually joined the pop trio, Angels of Ecstasy with Kelly Sullivan and Astrid Plane (formerly of Animotion). She and Kelly went on to form Zuzu's Petalz, performing their music in LA clubs. Shortly thereafter, Gypsy went solo.
Gypsy's debut album, "Heart of a Traveling Wind" is flavored with the guest performances of many talented musicians, including Ed Tree (Spencer Davis), Martyn LeNoble (Jane's Addiction, The Cult), Tony Sales (David Bowie), Rick Shlosser (Van Morrison, Jackson Browne) and David Palmer (Rod Stewart). Gypsy's influences include Joni Mitchell, Van Morrison, Loreena McKennett, Jewel, Bob Marley and others. She is performing throughout California, limited engagements in Arizona and Florida and festivals around the U.S.

Gypsy is of Irish-Faery, Scottish & American Indian descent. She believes in God, Goddess, Faeries & true love and doesn't mind wearing her heart on her sleeve. Gypsy loves children, the "underdog", whales, being near the ocean, traveling, reading, poetry, going to movies and cooking. Feeding the hungry worldwide is one of her major goals as well as saving the whales. Gypsy doesn't like sports, guns, violence, violent TV shows or TV in general. You won't catch her watching "Fear Factor"! Gypsy is an old hippie at heart and loves the great singers of the 60's & 70's (Van Morrison, Joni, Marley, Dylan, Lennon, Nick Drake). Politics drive her mad so she's learning to bite her tongue.
