ABOUT ME:

Hello and welcome!

I am a singer/songwriter in the easy-listening pop genre.  Inspired by artists such as Van Morrison, Neil Young and John Prine, I have written many songs that rely on my personal life experiences.  These life experiences have lead to my 2nd album just released in October 2022, “JUST AS ONE.” Releasing right now on Spotify, ITunes, Amazon Music, and other platforms, Just As One takes you on a 15 song, one hour sharing of my loves, sorrows, protests and growth. I write in numerous genres influenced also by jazz, blues, Americana and country swing. My goal is to keep my mind on the positives of music-the singing, writing, playing and networking with like-minded musicians.
