ABOUT

I sing many styles and and have a deep appreciation for most all styles when done well. I have been singing for as long as I remember and have been doing so professionally for 20+ years. I am a mom of three so it can be challenging to get in more than 2 group rehearsals a week on a regular basis, but I firmly believe that as long as everyone is doing their homework that 1-2 rehearsals a week, at the most is definately sufficient. I love singing and performing, especially when sharing the stage with the right people.

I am seeking great musicians who know are open to different styles and are proficient in playing their instruments and a fairly thorough knowledge of music in general. I'm not interested in ego's or drama. I just want to have a great time doing what I love without too much clowning around yet without taking everything too seriously. Talent, balance, chemistry, and fun is the key to any project I would want to be involved in. If we can make money, even better. If you are a band or a musician with the same sort of "ethic" as me, then maybe we can work together. Hit me up!

**Update** I would really like to start/be a part of a Christian praise/worship band. To share the praise, love, and the word of God through song with others is something God has put it on my heart to do. God gave us these gifts and has given us opportunities to cultivate them. I feel the greatest reward would be to use it for his glory.

Here are some samples of me singing. Be forgiving this is from a karaoke site and the recordings are in no way professional.
