ABOUT

Contact me! Looking for a good band to join.

Pro level singer with years of experience onstage, great vocalist and a comfortable frontperson who is good with audiences. I also have a small following, most local to the North Shore. Good with lite marketing, website, social media, flyer art, etc.

I'm a super friendly professional who performs small solo/duo gigs during the day singing jazz and oldies. I sing with a jazz band currently playing only a few times a year and I want to work more! (I've fronted classic rock, dance & standards bands in the past).

I cover old R&B, classic rock, blues, jazz, disco, soul, funk, old R&B, pop, standards, oldies, dustys, motown, crossover country, cabaret and other genres. I'm experienced adjusting my vocal performance to suit the style and genre as needed. I'm an alto/contralto: strong, sultry vocalist with chops. I would love to find an eclectic Soulful/old RnB/blusey funky band to join!

I'm really easy to get along with. I learned long ago to "Show Up, Shut Up and Shine" - every time.
