2007 was the year I started writing songs. Performing was a natural consequence to having the songs heard. In 2012, I released "Taking Flight", a CD of thirteen original songs. My first songs were written on keyboard. I then expanded my musical style and started learning guitar. The EP, "Admit One", released in November of 2015, highlights some of those songs composed on the guitar. Those tracks have been combined with some new material in: "Coins Tossed", 2019, which is available on CD Baby, Spotify and iTunes and via purchase from me at gigs.
I've been performing as a Singer/Songwriter in the Western New York area since 2007 including at festivals, coffee houses, bar/restaurants, arts organizations, church events, music events and farmers' markets. I’m continuing to write and perform music for those who enjoy listening.
My music background includes participating in choirs in New York State and Colorado. My music style has often been compared to singer songwriters of the '70s, like Joni Mitchell or Carol King. I like the idea of a troubadour with simple instrumentation and the vocal being the element of focus and surprise. (2024)
