From the age of six, I started singing in the living room along to 33's of Whitney Houston, Diana Ross, Crystal Gail, and any of the Broadway musicals. I studied jazz and classical music at American River Junior College here in Sacramento California, graduating with an AA in Music in 1994. Four years later, I represented Sacramento in the California All State Honor Choir. I also sang at Warehouse Ministries for six years as worship leader and participated in many concerts and solo performances. I performed live at the Memorial Auditorium in Sacramento and in New York at Carnegie Hall. I've been a back up singer for many professional recording projects, even recorded my own music; a five track EP in 2002, titled, "Take Us Home".
I started a family in 2003, and have a wonderful son. I'm an active mother and value God, family and friends and love my animals, as they help me stay grounded. I am a family and marriage therapist and recently opened my own practice where I enjoy helping others.
Another passion I enjoy, is to touch the souls of the people who hear me sing. I've been told I have a gift unlike most singers that can put pure emotion into every word that I sing, and somehow it makes the music come alive. I prefer a stage-like performance like Barbara Streisand's approach...a stool and a mic; or no stool and a mic, I'll just sing along with a full orchestra or a band. I love music for the soul, and if I feel it, you will feel it for sure!
This new updated album will be available later this year 2023. |
