About
Even before picking up the violin, I learned piano. I was taught at-home for a few years, and then discontinued piano lessons, teaching myself the rest. Piano was a great foundation for violin-learning for me. I have learned numerous songs by using the piano first, and then playing with the violin. This is very helpful when I learn a piece by ear.
I have composed myriads of pieces, one of them recently released titled "Time-Traveler". Although I love covering songs, I am striving to make an album of my own with many pieces that people can relate to, with or without lyrics.
Another goal of mine is to collaborate with certain Youtube musicians whom are my role models. Some examples include Taylor Davis, Peter Hollens, etc. I don't want to limit myself to Youtube musicians, however. I would love to work with Thomas Bergerson and Nick Phoenix from Two Steps from Hell, Nobuo Uematsu, Revo, and many other instrumental composers.
A few great achievements I've made include: being a winner in the Two Steps From Hell Cover Contest, and winning third place in the Theatrhythm Final Fantasy Curtain Call Legacy of Music contest (winners were selected by Nobuo Uematsu). I sincerely hope that I can continue to participate in contests and demonstrate my skills to famous composers.

G Dee Redman I'm more than a bit into history and SF/F Music so my suggestions are not mainstream. I think your voice would sound magical with these songs which mean the world to me, all are available on YouTube if you arn' t familiar with them: All through the night, Trade. Welsh Lullaby, (the hammer dulcimer track could provide some ideas for harmony lines.) Men of Harlech, Trad. Welsh battle call most famously heard in themovie ZULU. The YouTube tract from the movie has the clearest soundtrack IMHO Next 'new' music: Lullaby for a Weary World, written and preformed by Julia Ecklar. Familiar's Promise, written and performed by Heather Alexander, (For all you have or have lost a beloved canine companion.) Please give these a listen if/when you have time. I only recently discovered your music it has been uplifting. Thanks. Dee Redman

Cindy McVay I made a video one Christmas for my family and staff with Thankful as the background. It was very amateur but fun. Thank you for considering covering it. Hugs to you and your family.
