About Me

Love to sing. In the shower, in the car, when I wake up, when I go to sleep...it can be annoying. When I was younger my sister always told me to shut up because I was always singing (and back then i sang awful!). And now all I do is harmonize to keep my harmony chops up - and THAT can be annoying just ask Liza! I'm always looking for new music to learn and expand my horizons. Right now I'm working on Latin Rock based music adding some house music and cool drum and bass lines. I'm writing the lyrics and melody and working with Marina Garza to put it all together. I've been wanting to do something out the box lately - renew - refresh- rejuvenate my musical interest.I've been lucky enough to perform at some really cool venues in various capacities - Concord Pavilion; Oakland's Paramount Theatre; Yoshi's; KCSM, SJJF and Barbado's International Jazz Festivals and have opened for Oscar De Leon. I've also enjoyed performing and recording with some great bands like Wild Mango, Dulcemambo, Orquesta D'Soul, Edgardo y Su Candela, Montuno Groove, Brian Andres and the Afro Cuban Jazz Cartel, and Vission Latina.We'll see what this new project brings.Gloria
