Bio
Ever since I was a little girl, I knew I wanted to do one thing, win the Oscar for best original song in a motion picture. I distinctly remember watching the trailer for The Lion King shortly before it came out and promptly announcing to my mother, "I'm going to be an Elton John Pop Superstar!". Well, a lot has happened since that fateful day twenty years ago, almost all of which I can proudly say has gotten me closer and closer to that little girl's dream (minus the chicken suit...).
My journey to "pop super-stardom" has involved over twenty years of classical piano training, ten years of jazz and vocal coaching, and a Bachelors Degree in music composition from the University of California, Santa Barbara. But at the end of the day, my true passion lies in writing songs and film scores. I can honestly say that I always feel my musical experiences and education influencing what I do. Every note I put on the page, I feel my years of theory and jazz harmonies daring me to find a less conventional route. Every word I write is gently guided by my knowledge of fantastic lyricists like Billy Joel and The Eagles.
