I am difficult to fit in one genre. My music ranges from spoken word to progressive ambient jazz, to Alternative Rock, while my jazz-trained voice stretches from blues to rocker-chicks like Heart or Chrissy Hynde. I write mostly love songs, unless love becomes unlike love - then they're tempermental songs- inspirations about feminine empowerment, or universalities about making the world a kinder place.

Having set aside early years of opera and jazz training in favor of cultivating authentic self-expression, I've moved through voices like wardrobes. I use my voice, acoustic & electric guitars, bass guitar, and drum programming to write, and often begin with a poetic hook and create around it.

I love music - Cole-Porter jazz to bell-bottom glitter funk and Classic Motown, to 90's rock & grunge. I appreciate the alchemic phenomenon of a tight group. Like Led Zeppelin. Or singular genius, like Jeff Buckley. I love spoken word, acid jazz, soul, and fat guitars. My influences - Heart, The Pretenders, Bonnie Raitt, and Chaka Khan - have been woven in to my recordings - studio recordings or therapeutic bedroom tracks. But I am not my influences.

I am difficult to place in one genre. I have many talents and I like to explore. My music is a canon of personal poetry, snapshots of my understanding, sonic MRI readings. I have come to peace with the fact that my songs are not formulaic or perfect, technically or structurally, not worldly marketable to the mass median, nor poised politically correctly. But, like children a mother loves, they are all aspects of me and they deserve to live and fly. They have been my evolution, and I am content if they move you in any direction from where you are right now.

Peace.
