A Portion of My Musical Journey

Making music was never something I set out to do. I have done it for as long as I can remember.

I was always involved in music since I was a little girl. Guitar (my classical) came first then onto school bands with clarinet which led to my major love of drumming-that kept me busy for almost a decade before debuting my own songs. Although I always sang I was never known to since I played instruments.

I have always written songs some have yet to be heard.
The first song I ever wrote that people actually heard was for a wedding in 1989 - People would ask me to sing and it was easier to write for the occasion than it was to learn some song I had never heard of. For 10 years I did that.

My first solo gig (aside from weddings and funerals and church) was in October of 1999 a few of my songs were finally heard and no one was getting married and no one died and I got great coffee. Perfect ~

Most of my music has been given away while playing everywhere from a coffeehouse to hospitals. Ive played in airports, train stations, on the streets, in parks, local events etc - you get the idea --- I just want my music to be heard.
Ive recorded in a closet, at a radio station, in a studio, at home and eventually my own studio.

Private collections of songs on Cd's have traveled far and wide to different countries and states and again I have something new to offer.
I hope you will support my desire of sharing through song.
