ABOUT

Music is one of the most important parts of my life. I'm a power singer with an organic sound. I can manufacture a kind of sound if it's appropriate for a specific song but I prefer to let the music lead me, and I try to sing as authentically as possible to convey the feelings the music produces in me. I love harmony. I'm looking for a band or individuals to jam with. I have written some songs and have some ideas that need more development. I'd love to develop a writing relationship with a musician at some point, as well.
