indie acoustic female voc
Beautifully-toned alto vocals gliding over personal lyrics and simple guitar.
To sum it up: Warm-toned alto vocals gliding over personal lyrics and simple guitar. Someone once described my style as a "beautifully sad" approach and I think that is the core of all my songwriting. Nothing innovative, but I don't mind. I write what I know, and that's that - honesty is the key. I used to have fears about people not responding to such sad music, so I'd fight it and try to be more upbeat or poppy, but I've learned that if you be yourself (musically/personally), true fans will tune in and in turn bring more listeners. And I'm happy to see that it worked; over the months I've had more and more listeners come out of the woodwork. I'm definitely open to experimenting with more genres. I'd like to get more instruments involved and different rhythms and such. I've been very attracted to the bossa nova sound lately, so you may see that crop up in my newer music. I can play guitar, bass and a little drums and piano, but hestitate to say I play multiple instruments because it implies I do it well, which I really don't haha. I'd say my two main instruments would be vocals and bass guitar. I love singing and harmonies and do them almost excessively. I love the way a bass guitar can hold down the rhythm and accent it like drums can but still be melodic. I play acoustic guitar out of necessity to back up my songs, but if I had to choose, I'd let someone else play guitar, so I could play bass.

Story behind the song
a lyrically dramatic song about the drama in my former band
Lyrics
standing on the brink; an unholy trinity insatiable dreamers can't break their naivety halted mid-rise by sudden departure she turns and flies did they miss their chance then? she sings for hope (did they miss their chance then?) she clings to hope... consumed and eclipsed her assumptions bred discord she was distanced but content and his warnings stayed ignored 3,000 miles resentment is building standing in silence alone in the grey his voice was still (as he was veiled in the grey) he poised to kill don't wanna be the guilty one... smoke chokes the air leaving ashen remains of a ghost behind a mask who appears then fades away someday now crushed vacant dreams slide along open eyes revealed decline's paragon disguised as phoenix (it was decline's paragon) twice mistaken for phoenix
