About
My Story
My journey began on an upright piano in my grandparent’s living room. At the age of 5, I was singing and playing Scott Joplin tunes thrilled with the harmonies of piano and voice. By the age of 13, I was spending hours in my room with two cassette tape recorders layering vocals to my favorite James Taylor, Carly Simon, Carol King & CSN songs. In high school and college I performed with various Acapella groups and sat in with local bands but it wasn't until I packed up and moved to San Francisco after college that I began to pursue my dream of singing professionally. I began like every young artist moving through a variety of bands and lineups. I was writing, playing, recording with many bay area greats and up and comers like Train & Box Set, and was the lead vocalist for the popular 80/90's cover band The Distractions. I am grateful to have been able to share the stage by sitting in with Boz Scaggs, John Lee Hooker, Spin Doctors, and members of Big Head Todd. At 27 it all came together when a line-up of talented all-star musicians came together to form YellowWood Junction Headlining clubs like Great American Music Hall, Sweetwater, Slims, & Bimbo's Nightclub. Cemented by a love of harmony and a creative passion we toured the western states and recorded the full-length studio album ‘After Today’. (Our gifted keyboardist and incredible songwriter, Tim Westergren, came up with a brilliant idea to start a company named Pandora).
Years later I continue to push myself musically. You can find me every day singing, strumming the guitar, creating on the piano, or tapping my bongos….all in pursuit of that perfect Harmony. I am writing again, so here I am ready for what’s next. I live to work on music with young artists and veteran players. Harmony is my first love and I fill all the corners of my life with this love. I live to make beautiful sounds.
