In her own words….
"Music has always been the focus of my life and I've been singing for as long as I can remember. I was born in Chatham, Ontario Canada the youngest of five girls. While living in Toronto, I was blessed to work with some of Canada's finest producers and writers, with whom I earned the opportunity to become one of the top session singers in town.
With over 400 TV and Radio jingles under my belt, and ten years of experience performing R&B, Rock, Pop, Dance & Disco in the local scene, I decided to move To LA to pursue my true ambition.To be a world renowned singer songwriter. Since arriving in LA, I've worked on and off camera including a brief stint as an actress in "What Women Want" starring Mel Gibson & Helen Hunt; you will also hear my vocals on the score of "Sinbad", an animated feature by DreamWorks.
My personal passion is to write & sing beautiful soulful jazz ballads, and my goal is to record a new album."
