Bio
I am very pleased to tell you that out of 6,000 entries,my song "You Are My Woman/You Are My Man" was chosen as a semi-finalist in the prestigious 2009 UK songwriting contest.
I am also excited to tell you that I just signed a licensing deal for my newest CD "Love Is All There Is" with W.O.A. Records for all of India.
I am also still enjoying playing the role of June Carter Cash in the musical tribute show to Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash.
I have been performing all my life and sang my first lead role(Cinderella) at the ripe old age of 12(I started off as a classical singer).I have also toured both in Canada and the U.S.A. and have sung most genres of music. I love variety and write in most genres as well. In the 80s I won a province wide talent search in my home province of Nova Scotia, Canada and at that time I was doing country music so I released two country singles both of which charted on the Canadian Country Charts. In the 90s I started seriously writing and released my debut CD The Heart And The Mindin the fall of 1995.This album which fit in the Country/Folk/Pop genre was well received and is still getting airplay around the world. The second single that was released off the CD (Youre My Addiction) garnered me a nomination from American Country Radio for Best Singer in Airplay Internationals, King Eagle Music Awards held in Nashville in September 2003.
In September 2006 I released my new CD Love Is All There Is ".This album ventures into the Jazzy/Pop genre. Also at this time, I started working with a publicist and we did a major marketing campaign all across Canada seeking CD reviews and airplay. I am thrilled to say that the reviews are favourable and we are also getting some very nice airplay. As a matter of fact this CD charted at number 7 on CHLY 101.7 in Nanaimo, BCs jazz chart in February 2007 and was number 8 on the Folk/Roots/Blues chart on CILU 102.7 FM in Thunder Bay,ON in April 2007.
I am also very pleased to tell you that I have been inducted into the International Artist's Registry.I am one of 48 artists that were selected out of a thousand applicants.
In October 2007 I was nominated for four music awards in the Toronto Exclusive Magazine Awards for all of Canada.
