I began my musical journey at 15 when I picked up a guitar and started experimenting with songwriting. It wasn't until I discovered the inspiring and beautifully chilling voice of Tori Amos that I decided to see if I had a voice of my own. I studied voice on and off for about 6 years with a private vocal coach in Southern California, took some writing and music theory classes at my local college (Saddleback), and began studying the techniques and styles of some of my favorite singing artists.

I've done a lot of little things here and there as far as recording projects, sold some CD's, had my music played on a Radio Station in Korea and some online Indie Stations and Podcasts. (see website) I've done some great collaborations with Musicians worldwide and have won a few contests for voice and songwriting. (see website)

I'm a pretty down to earth person and most of the time you can catch me with a smile. I'm also a Gemini and an internet chat-a-holic :-)
