ABOUT

I sing and play the piano. I am seeking a band or musician(s) for collaboration. I am classically trained with some knowledge of jazz piano but am looking primarily to sing. I am in SF so SF or close proximity to SF is best if you're in the Bay Area. I am also interested in connecting with LA musicians. I lived in LA for years, occasionally work there for my day job and am planning to make it my principal residence once again.

Musicians with knowledge of jazz standards would be a big plus but I also do pop, light r&b and singer-songwriter tunes. I am jazzfemme on g mail.
