I have been singing and performing since I was about 5 years old. I used to do "concerts" for our house guests. I also sang in choir, both in school and church, since I was 6 years old. I was often selected to do solos for choir concerts, and for church performances. I love performing on stage, especially with a band. My professional singing experiences include solo concerts (using music tracks)at festivals, nursing homes, churches and banquets. I have competed in many karaoke contests, as well as a National talent contest. I've performed on local television for a Christian show, and twice on a television talent show in Nashville, which was by invitation only. I have had Producers contact me in the past to come to Nashville and record, but I did not have the finances to do so. In the late 1980's, I performed in a community choir that did concerts at the Palace Theater at Christmas time. I was in that choir for 5 years. I sang soprano/second soprano. In 2010, I sang back-up for Sandi Patty for a concert that she did in Ohio. I am currently focusing on writing songs for my next album. They are Country/Christian songs. I also hope to tour in the future, and perform at fairs, churches and other events, as well as sell my albums all over the world.
