About Me


Hi there and thanks for stopping by my page. I really appreciate everybody’s kind words and support and hope that you enjoy my new music. Here’s my brand new single ‘Shake it Down” that was produced in Europe by Kristof. I also have some really cool club mixes including an awesome electro-pop remix by one of Australia’s Top DJ/Producers Fabian Gray, you can check out all the mixes and purchase your own copies at iTunes. I have also included samples of some of my new demos that we are currently recording final release versions of. I love these songs especially 'Frozen' and can’t wait to hear how they sound once completed. We are currently in the studio working with some great producers such as 'Katie Michaelson' and 'Audius', who have worked with big artist such as 'Delta Goodrem, Riki Lee, Paulini, Selwyn, The Young Divas. I am very excited about these new tracks!!! Let me know what you think, enjoy!

Over the past few years I have gone through many learning experiences, which have contributed to making me the person I am today. I have had to learn things very quickly and at times, quite harshly. I have chosen to be part of an industry that is very challenging but can also be very rewarding. I have never really enjoyed anything as much as my music. If I should die tomorrow, I would undoubtedly come back and do it all again. I am a true believer that we are all connected in this crazy world and that everyone and everything in our lives serves a purpose, even if we cannot see it at the time. A wise person once said to me, ‘everything is perfect and as it should be’. I truly believe in the divine order and synchronicity of the universe. I have had the pleasure of meeting and working with a number of great people in this business and look forward to meeting many others. I thank all those people who have played a part in my life and I send you love. All of my life experiences to date have made me the young woman I am today. Each day I try to remain true to myself and believe that I can achieve my goals and ambitions. I have been blessed with a love for music and no one can take that away from me. I hope that through my music and energy, I can connect and inspire individuals in a very positive way.


Music has always been a part of my life. At the age of 5, I commenced piano classes at Yamaha Music School and went on to complete 10 years of Classical Piano training. This formal training was instrumental in the development of my reading and writing skills. At the age of 6, I took up dance classes (jazz, ballet & tap) and spent the next 7 years performing in dance productions and various local competitions. I also dabbled in acting from a young age, appearing in Neighbours, Sit Down Shut Up and Stingers to name a few. This extended to some minor roles in a number of television commercials and documentaries. Subsequent to all of this, and in my attempt to become an all-rounded performer, I took up vocal tuition. It was with a microphone in hand that I discovered where my true passion lay. Singing fuelled my hunger for musical knowledge and was the catalyst in my pursuit for Musical excellence. It became my driving force in life and set me off in the direction I find myself in today. My scholastic years were filled with musical studies and performances. In 2006 I completed a tertiary degree in Music and subsequent to that a post-graduate Diploma of Education majoring in Music.

From the tender age of 15, I was contracted to an all girl pop band called NVS. This was to be my introduction to the writing and recording industry and carved my development as an artist. Over the next couple of years I worked in a variety of corporate gigs around the country and also travelled to Las Vegas aged 18 to perform in a production at the Star Dust Casino. In 2005, I audition for Australian Idol as a means of breaking into the music industry and successfully reached the top 10 finalists. I had the opportunity to perform to millions of viewers each week on National TV and in front of 20,000 people at the Finale at the Sydney Opera House. In 2006, I signed to an Independent Record Label called ‘Inn Records’ and released my first single ‘TiAmo’, a classic tune which went to 1 around the world in the late 70’s early 80’s. I chose the song because it was a favourite in my household when I was growing up. In my version I wanted to give it a more contemporary sound that was driven by powerful vocals. I have now hooked up with a great writing and production team, made up of Big Love Productions, Katie Michaelson, Audius and The Sound Academy. We are currently completing my next three singles which all sound really hot and are aimed at the global Pop markets. It's all really exciting and already have interest from some international labels. Stay tuned... Look out world here I come hahaha :P

Influences: Over the years I've had a diverse musical upbringing. I enjoy listening to Popular Top 40 music, R'n'B, Soul, Rock and Jazz music. Some of the artists I aspire to includes Celine Dion, Mariah Carey, Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, Eva Cassedy, Tina Arena, The Beatles, Brian McKnight. Growing up in the 90's, boy bands such as Backstreet Boys, Nsynce, Boys 2 Men, 98 degrees were at their peak and further influenced my musical taste. I am also a big fan of the world famous song writers Max Martin and Diane Warren and would love one day to work with them.
