How I Got Into Music
​
Music has always been in my blood. Since I was little (think preschool!), I'd hum along to any song, even if it was new. It was like I could instinctively feel the melody. There's a funny story from elementary school music class. The teacher was introducing The Beatles (yes, that dates me!), and as he played, I started humming along. Turns out, I'd never heard the song before, but I just "felt" where it went.
​
Drums were a different story. Let's just say they weren't the quietest addition to the house! But in high school, I channeled that energy into the jazz band. Playing drums taught me a ton about music, and it was amazing to perform with the band, even traveling to Russia and Armenia on a two-week tour.

But, my first love remained the voice.
My musical journey has been rich and varied. I've collaborated with a wide range of singers and musicians, both locally and internationally. Each experience has honed my craft and fueled my passion for music. From fronting bands to performing in a cappella groups, recording my own music, and even directing choirs and hosting karaoke nights, I've embraced many facets of the musical world. These experiences have given me a well-rounded understanding of music and performance that I can share with others.

This is what it means to be an Artist. As Artists, we have the ability to let people see the beauty that we see; to feel the emotions that we feel. We are the magic makers of the world, weaving our tapestries of thought and emotion, creating positive change in those we touch."
