I've been playing piano, guitar, and singing for a long time, and I've always wanted to do a bit more with it. I haven't been professionally trained, but my day job does involve vocal care and training. Most of what I play on my own is acoustic and I love songs that have good harmonies. I can be pretty versatile with the right backing-- always willing to test my limits. Some older songs are up on be (://./user/aoede9) and some more recents on (s:///juniper_music).

Influences
The first songs I learned to play were by Jewel, so that's had a lasting influence. Juli, Mae, Indigo Girls, Sufjan Stevens, Mat Kearney, Matt Hires are my favorite sing-able artists at the moment. I love singing in other languages and I have a thing for percussion (I'm also a belly dancer).
MUSIC

The Sun and the Moon (Mae cover)
The Sun and the Moon (Mae cover) Genre: Acoustic
A cover of "the Sun and the Moon" by Mae. I did keyboard and vocals on this.
-
Morning Song (Jewel cover)
Morning Song (Jewel cover) Genre: Acoustic
The only thing I do to my recorded tracks is try to get rid of any background noise, so this is a pretty raw recording.
-
Already Know (original)
Already Know (original) Genre: Acoustic
Sometimes I write originals. They're either ridiculously cheesy or some sort of parody. This is a cheesy one.
-
If the Stars Were Mine (Melody Gardot cover)
If the Stars Were Mine (Melody Gardot cover) Genre: Jazz
Disclaimer: I can't play this song and sing at the same time, so these are merged tracks. Also, I'm still working on making the vocals better.

Near You Always (Jewel cover) Genre: Acoustic
Pre-having an actual microphone.
