Joni Mitchell, Norah Jones, Sarah McLachlan and a female James Taylor are the sounds most listeners compare with my indie folk/rock style. I read music, learn fast, and have a 2-octave range. Classical training meets modern singer/songwriter sensibility and a willingness to experiment.
Hello, let's make some music! As a lifelong learner and a self-motivated go-getter, I love to collaborate with fellow creators who are committed to excellence and beauty. Born and raised in the Washington DC metro area (Northern Virginia), I've lived in LA since 2013 and am loving the rich arts scene full of visionaries.
I am a team player and very responsive to email. I have a strong creative voice, but my ego can take a back seat to your big vision - let's do what's best for the project! I'm a songwriter and a performer, and I love feeling supported by my backing vocals and bandmates... I am here to offer you that same support.
I can read music and have sung classical music - solos and choral arrangements, even Handel's Messiah. My sound is not overtly classical, but I am reasonably comfortable in that world.
I have a lot of experience with audio engineering, and can record/edit myself for demos, drafts and finals. I love arranging harmonies, and am happy to experiment with fills and runs or simply sing the notes on the page according to your preference. I love to sing, and it's my honor to help you put something beautiful in the world.
