Bio
As a singer, my influences are huge as I've been studying my craft and honing my skills since childhood. My credits include 2 scholarships to Boston's Berklee College of Music for my jazz vocals, 3 first place wins in National Open Country Competitions, and performances for thousands on Shania Twain's stage and at Queen Elizabeth's Golden Jubilee. I have also recorded and worked with members of Elton John's band (Guy Babylon, Davey Johnstone and Nigel Olsen), and toured with my own cd.
Most recently, I auditioned and placed in the top 200 for the INXS ROCKSTAR Search being conducted by Mark Burnett Productions. I am currently focussing my songwriting efforts on soft rock and rock/blues.
To keep some scheckles coming in while working on my music, I model, am a film extra, do tribute acts and impersonations of Shania Twain, Marilyn Monroe tributes, Tina Turner and Cher. Don't miss my 4-month engagement at THE CAVERN in Hong Kong!
