CURRENTLY SEEKING TO FORM COVER BAND (ALTERNATIVE, ROCK, SKA, PUNK, OTHER)

Hello! I am a fun loving, high-energy performer with experience in classical (opera, art song, contemporary, 20th century), musical theater, country, and rock music. Although I am only 5 feet tall, I enjoy the limelight and have great stage presence. I love performing music for just that: THE LOVE OF MUSIC. I have been singing since I could phonate, and I have been taking lessons since the age of 11. I am currently finishing my bachelors in music (Vocal Performance) at UTSA, and I plan on forming my own private voice studio. I am a hard worker when it comes to music, however I also enjoy having a good time (I love to party with the band!) and often find myself on the music scene supporting local bands. I also plan on learning how to operate a soundboard (currently in the works) and learn more about music equipment.

I'm currently a vocal performance major at UTSA studying opera and musical theater. I grew up with rock and country music, and enjoy performing these genres live. It has been a while since I have been able to tear myself away from the classical scene, but I still love to rock out when I can. I have been taking voice lessons since the age of 11 and have dabbled in repertoire for both mezzo-sopranos and subrette. I have somewhat of a large range: G3 (Eb3 or F3 on good health days) to C6 (D6 is possible, however I am still working on a more resonant sound). Some stage experience includes the chorus for South Pacific and Die Fledermaus, Brundibar (Baker), Hansel in Humperdink's Hansel and Gretel, The Taffetas (added entertainment as a jinglette and lead understudy), The Magic Flute (Third Spirit), HONK! (Fluff), Dorabella in selected scenes from Cosi Fan Tutti, and currently studying a role in Working as Babe, as well as learning extra ensemble numbers. I have a background in composition and piano, however I consider voice to be my main instrument, no matter what the genre. I consider myself an expert more for dedication than execution, however I am very experienced and well trained. Unfortunately I lack technology, but hopefully that will soon change!

Influences:

It is hard to say because I sing in multiple genres. My classical voice is unique and I am still determining my voice classification (currently mezzo). I would relate my rock voice influences to Shirley Manson and Delores O'Riordan, however I pick and choose from multiple singers and groups. My country influence leans more towards Patsy Cline, Lorrie Morgan, and Trisha Yearwood. Once again, I also pick and choose for this genre.

My preferred covers include: Garbage, Cranberries, No Doubt, Sublime, Incubus, The Pixies, Dresden Dolls, Collective Soul, Nirvana, Soundgarden, and many more. I can't think of them all off the top of my head!!! I can also learn a song in a few days, and after a week or two have it performance ready!
