My love of music and lyric writing began in my early teens. At age fifteen I had begun my recording endeavors and a couple years later granted a scholarship and completed my studies in voice and composition at California State University at Northridge. Soon thereafter I released several projects on my own independent label, Paradise Boutique Records.
Indigenous world music inspired me to create two global compilations for K-Tel Records and explore multi-cultural sounds in my own compositions. In 2002 I released, Heart of the Mother, a retrospective collection that spans over two decades of my work.
I developed a unique musical style, which includes cedar flute, voice, world percussion and technology; a blend of contemporary and world folk traditions. I also produce others and have composed for film, video, and television. I continue to perform as a featured artist at conferences, workshops, and fundraisers.
2011 had been an incredible year. The Thieves of Eden group came together and we have some really exciting music almost completed. The production of various local songwriters have yielded some fantastic songs and great singers. Some song placement in two films came out of that. I rebuilt my studio and finished up two movie soundtracks. Live performance was great fun and played keyboards in lots of various groups from new age harp, to mid-east electronica and everything in between.
