My appreciation and my love for music started at a very early age. I grew up in a musical family and started playing the piano at age five. By age six I found myself on stage singing with my Dad’s band at local venues. What a thrill for me and what an amazing experience for a young girl. But more importantly, what wonderful memories! At 16, I was fortunate enough to be awarded a scholarship at the Governor's School of Performing Arts at Bucknell University. I went on to receive my Bachelor of Science in Music Education from Indiana University of Pennsylvania.
As you can see, music has been part of my life from the very beginning. Hopefully, I've been able to combine my experiences from childhood with an extensive musical education and wrap them all with the musical influences of today. The result, well, you be the judge. I hope I bring a soulful voice, an outgoing personality, a charm and charisma that will help you enjoy music as much as I do.
I find myself striving for the style of musicians such as Adele, Diana Krall and Norah Jones, with touches of such greats as Barbra Streisand and Celine Dion. I know, and I understand, that music connects us all emotionally. I want to bring a smile to your face, a tug at your heart, or maybe just a little peace to the end of your hectic day.
My repertoire includes a wide variety of music, from sultry ballads both classic and pop, to traditional jazz and swing standards, and even bossa novas. But sometimes, it's just a little something for fun. So if you have a special request, please don't hesitate to ask. If I know the song, I'll be more than happy to oblige. And if I don't, well I'll probably try it anyway, leaving us both laughing and having fun. Because in the end, music is simply meant to be enjoyed.
I invite you to take a look at a few of my pictures. If you have a picture from a special time you enjoyed at one of my performances please feel free to email it to me. It just might show up in my gallary. I will be updating it regularly so stop back by for a visit soon!
