I like to write smart, contemplative songs.  And also techno.  I hope you like them, too.  I find creativity to be like weather - comes and goes.  Sometimes it's powerful and exhausting and sometimes it's peaceful and nourishing.  It's impossible to force.  Which is what scales are for. :)  My plan is to use the Patreon account to create a community and I want you to feel a part of my creative process.  You're investing in my work monetarily and I'm so grateful.  So, so grateful! There is so much more music in me.  

I'm a lifelong musician.  The daughter of a deep-thinking poet and a harmony-obsessed choral singer.  I grew up on the music my parents grew up on...Beach Boys, Beatles, Carole King, Paul Simon, Emmylou Harris, The Everly Brothers.  My mom played The Temptations around the house constantly.  When you mix that with my classical piano and choral training I think you can hear where my style comes from.  I like things that are fun and hard. 

I've lived in every part of the country and would love to live in Europe someday. My friends describe me as pathologically curious, generous, insightful and funny.  I love to tell stories and make people laugh so I might try to do some of that on here if I get some requests.
