Inspired by artists like Elliott Smith, Nick Drake, and Beck ... I started fiddling around with a microphone, acoustic guitar, and discovered how much I enjoy making personal music that reveals my deepest emotions. Creating music has become a therapeutic device for me as I capture a mood on my guitar and then start recording as I sing whatever comes to mind, allowing the melody and words to be "of the moment" and completely spontaneous. A writer by profession, I love the freedom of not putting the lyrics on paper and simply allowing my heart to talk and say whatever it feels without censoring. And the end result is the songs I've created and now look back on to discover more about myself based on what I say through improvisational singing.
