Band/artist history
Formed in 2006 - Portland, OR
Have you performed in front of an audience?
I do mostly private and corporate events, fundraisers, and wine-tasting events. I have also performed in Portland venues such as THIRST Winebar and Bistro, Prune Hill Cafe, The Old Mill Bakery and Restaurant, Jax Bar, Chinook Winds Casino,and El Rancho Viejo, among others. I love it! There is no better feeling in the world than to sing someone's favorite song to them and watch their face light up as good memories flow! It creates a connection that is always remembered and cherished. Music is powerful that way.
Your musical influences
Barbra Streisand, Linda Eder, Ella Fitzgerald, Etta James, Maureen McGovern, Karen Carpenter, and Rosemary Clooney. I am strongly influenced by vocalists in any genre who create an "experience" through the lyrics, emotion, musicality, color, artistry, energy, clarity, freedom, and unique personality in their music and performances. When you can touch that place in a person's soul genuinely, it creates a memory for you both that is everlasting.
