Bio
I have been playing piano and singing for as long as I can remember, since my upbringing in Sebastopol, California. Raised on the Mamas and the Papas, the Beatles, Joni Mitchell, Chopin, Debussy, weirdly resonant contemporary church music, and 80's pop. Later, Tori Amos, the Indigo Girls, Bonnie Raitt, and my mom showed me that women can do it.
When I was a baby, I used to lay around and pick at the carpet while my mom cast Chopin's piano waltzes into the air. I loved when she played. The way her notes vibed the living room, sounding like she was talking to me. She triggered the permanent feeling that whenever I heard music, I would feel the power of a mother.
Later it would be her records that made our family sing and dance in the kitchen while we did the dishes. Joni Mitchell, Laura Nyro, the Beatles, and the Mamas and the Papas; and then later, my records: Bonnie Raitt, the Indigo Girls, and Tori Amos.
This music is an extension of my predecessors: my family, and my spiritual and musical influences. It is a gift to me, but it is only enjoyable when shared. It makes me feel free. So I hope you will accept.
