I was born in Hartford Connecticut. I began playing acoustic guitar at 14 and later learned piano (thanks Bob!) and bass guitar. I believe my strongest asset is my vocal ability.

Most of my writing is done in the recording studio. Because of my limitiations, most of my recordings are demo quality. I have no illiusion that writing and recording music is purely for personal enjoyment.

I very much appreciate the time one takes to listen to my creations, so thank you sincerely. All feedback is welcomed with an open mind and heart!

My first impression of music was as a very young girl watching television in the early 60's. I remember seeing Little Richard playing live on stage. I was mesmerized by him. His rocking style, his striking appearance and his makeup, yes I remember noticing his makeup! Then, of course, The Beatles. I was one of those people who remember their debut on the Ed Sullivan show. Then came along R&B. I grew up in an urban neighborhood and was lucky enough to experience the whole Soul and R&B Motown explosion. Afterwards, I listened to Led Zeppelin, Traffic, Pink Floyd, Alice Cooper, etc. The biggest musical influences in my life are David Bowie, Marc Bolan and my beloved Freddie Mercury.

My current musical tastes are very broad. I am a huge fan of Nine Inch Nails, Lyle Lovett and George Michael as well as listening to Opera. I appreciate all kinds of music from Country to Rap, Folk to Classical, traditional latino and world, to my current love of eastern meditation chanting.
