Why this name?
It's my first and my middle name. That and Madonna was taken.
Do you play live?
Do I play live? Well, yeah of course I do. It's hard to play dead.

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
How did the Gutenberg press change society???? Sheesh. In more ways than I can write here.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
As long as they offered me scads of money. But to be honest, I see myself going more in a Diane Warren kind of direction. Getting paid to write songs all day and never having to get out of my pyjamas appeals to me in a strange sort of way.
Band History:
I've been "composing" since I was old enough to sing. First song composed on the piano? My own personal version of "Peter and the Wolf" when I was 8. Granted it was not quite as good as the Tchaikovsky version but hey, I was 8.
Your influences?
Nina Simone, Ella, Aretha, Billie, Tori, Sheryl Crow, Chantal Kreviazuk, Elton John, Billy Joel, Leonard Cohen, Paul Simon, Bonnie Raitt, Eagles....just to name a few.
Favorite spot?
MONTREAL!!!!!!!! But only in the summer. In the winter my favorite place is a hot tub.
Equipment used:
A crappy Yamaha 4 track and my outdated Ensoniq keyboard.
