Music is the life and breath of this multi-talented vocalist. Born to a musical and theatrical family in Los Angeles, her performance work and studies began very early with showcase theater, piano, drama, voice and flute studies, playing in woodwind ensembles, orchestra, classical and jazz choirs as well as solo jazz and classical performances. In the family tradition, she has passed the artistic legacy and love of music through her sons, Tyler, a composer and mulit-instrumentalist and Sam, a writer and music afficionado. She likes to share her experience and skills as a vocal coach privately as well as in workshop settings, specializing in jazz improvisation. Her theater roles have ranged from quirky comedy, dramatic and musical theater as well as some behind the scenes work in costuming and production. At home in a variety of venues from clubs to concert halls, she has performed and studied with some of the finest artists in the music world. Her sound and presence is ethereal and earthy, elegant and gritty, exuberant and melancholy, gregarious and shy, sparkling and dark, warm yet she is one cool kitten, she swings, she floats, she digs, she styles, she loves it... a musician, a performer, an artist with a palette of four octaves, a contralto jazz chanteuse, a lyric soprano classical songstress... The song dictates the sound. Her voice is an agile, supple instrument which she shapes with depth and delicacy. You will feel her soul as she touches the essence of the story in the song with utmost respect for the melody and harmonic structure. There is an underlying sense of humor, an infectious joy. What can be said? It's fun for her and for you. She transports, sharing the poignancy, joy and even healing with the deep release and transcendent language that music is.
