ABOUT

Music school dropout (Manhattan School of Music) who wanted to do rock and roll/folk and not the vocals she was trained for :)

Here is the thing. It is very hard to do rock/folk rock/alternative rock in an apartment by yourself when you are mediocre at guitar (not giving up though!!!!), and rely on drums from a MIDI keyboard. Would love more than anything to learn and work with other musicians in their 20s, play some shows, write/record albums.

I'm trained in multiple vocal styles and love to keep building.

Influences

Strong believer in the strong female rock singers of the world...and major student of classic and alternative rock. BIG fan of harmonies (especially three part) and I will give a thesis on why Freddie Mercury is the best vocalist of all time.

Big fan of 1960s & 1970s rock: Crosby, Stills, & Nash (and Young later!), Cream, Bob Dylan, Loretta Lynn, Jefferson Airplane (Grace Slick!!!!), The Beatles, The Kinks, Neil Young, George Harrison, Queen, David Bowie

Annnnd of course the good old 2000s: The Strokes (probably my biggest influence), The Killers, White Stripes, Courtney Barnett, Lorde, Phoebe Bridgers
