Vocalist

Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?

A: One project I’m especially proud of is Masquerade of Truth with The Skate Betties, where I contributed lead vocals, harmonies, and songwriting to shape the album’s unique ska-rock and swing sound. It’s meaningful because it reflects years of passion, collaboration, and creative growth. I’m also proud of my touring days with The Scooterz — playing CBGBs, recording at Westlake Studios in California, and opening for The Human League in Colorado — experiences that shaped me as a performer and artist.

Q: What are you working on at the moment?

A: Voice overs about 2 times a week. Slowly working on another album.

Q: Analog or digital and why?

A: I have used a mix of both analog and digital tools because each has strengths. Analog gear brings warmth and character to recordings, while digital tools give precision, flexibility, and fast workflow — together they create the best of both worlds. If using professional home studio I am using digital, smaller space faster turn around and compatible.

Q: What's the biggest misconception about what you do?

Q: What questions do you ask prospective clients?

Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?

That setup would let me keep creating music anywhere.

I’m also inspired by Wynonna Judd, Blondie, Adele, and the B-52s for their unique voices and styles.
