Hey there.
I'd like to introduce myself by first saying that I'm not a fan of bios or anything where I have to explain myself in that third person sort of way. It always seemed sort of sterile to me and a tad bit pretentious to talk about my resume or "achievements" as a bragging right or as if you were to be impressed. What's impressive to me is where I'm going not where I've been or what I've done.

In the spirit of humoring everyone, let me just say that I did not grow up in a big city. Quite the opposite, in fact. I grew up a farm girl in a tiny town in Michigan where I spent my childhood alone with the animals and lots of land. I guess that's where my fondness for nature comes in.
Looking back now, I realize I lucky I was to have this opportunity so few have, especially nowadays. I really learned to connect with and appreciate ALL living things and realize that we all have our place in this great circle and no ONE is greater than any other since all is interconnected. Sounds pretty heavy, I know. Don't worry, I won't go there...yet ;)

They say that your childhood shapes so much of who you become as an adult and that's quite true. Along with my love for nature, my mother was instrumental in teaching me an appreciation for the arts since she was a stage actress and director herself.
I basically grew up in the theater and watched my mother teach and encourage so many others that it inspired me to communicate all those things I felt on a deep level through my own creative gifts.
I've always been rather shy and not so adept at getting my point across face to face but there were so many things that I could say through my writing and performing that affected others in ways I could never imagine. With my vivid imagination and restless spirit, I even wrote my first novel at the age of 14. Now we come to music...what can I say about it that hasn't already been said by countless others? Music is all and then some.

It was ALWAYS there for me nothing else came even close. No drug or emotion or "thing" can ever touch me in such a way...that I would ever consider devoting my life to finding my voice within that medium or giving myself over to it completely the way the pursuit of sound has.
I have always been a fan of every aspect of music from how it's made to those who make it to how it effects society at large. Without getting too scientific here, all I will say is that EVERYTHING is vibration and that is probably why many of us are willing to give all we have to have to honor of making music so that it may say something to someone somewhere at just the right time...as it has so many times for me.

And so it's through this, along with my love of beauty and expression that I offer myself for the sake of creation and constant evolution to the world in hopes that every day I can do my part to make others more aware of the talents and gifts that lie within each and every one of us.
Through art and appreciation we make our world a place worth living in and give our children and generations to come a home to be proud of and a chance to collectively continue expanding our minds, hearts and most of all, our very souls.

I wish you all peace, truth and sovereignty.
From the core of my being.
