Artist Information
Biography
When I was young I always looked up to my Dad. He has been playing drums since he was 12 years old. I would watch him play shows and it was the best feeling to see people playing live music. I eventually played "Mary had a little lamb" on the piano and then graduated to harder songs...
My main influences are life influences. I've gone from the pit of despair and back again. But then again, haven't we all? I wanted to write my music so that other people can relate to it and realize that its OK to feel.
I love listening to a large variety of music but the artists who have inspired me the most are Cat Power, Emiliana Torrini, The Beatles, Radiohead, and a little Elton John because my Mom always put on "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" all my life.

Setlist
My typical set can range from 30 to 45 minutes, depending on what is needed. I perform about 6 or 7 songs from this list:
"Silly Girl"
"Where Is This Going"
"I Am Not Yours"
"Outside Tonight"
"I Remember Who You Used to Be"
"Best Kept Secret"
"Don't Walk Away"
"Fake Every Romance"
"Permanent Marks"
"The Misery of J and R"
"The Sickness"
I normally do not perform cover songs, but if I need to fill up more space I can play "Save Me" by Aimee Mann, "Maybe Not" by Cat Power, and "Fade Into You" by Mazzy Star.
