Bio
Musical artist, songwriter, painter, jewelry and crafts designer, I have shared the stage with some of the worlds most renowned performers over the years in this business. My voice has been heard on radio shows broadcast all over the globe.
Overcoming countless personal and professional obstacles on the way up, I continue to work hard each and every day to keep my musical journey moving forward.
2022 brought the release of my newest EP "In The Sea" and the two nominations for the coveted Josie Music Award in the categories of "Country Female Vocalist of the Year" and "EP of the year" for "In The Sea".
My greatest joy is being a proud Mom raising my two children, and I continue to write, create, and perform in public as often as possible.
If you would like a copy of my latest Josie Music Award nominated EP please email me or find me on Facebook. Love to all my fans!
"I lied"
This is one of my newest originals "I lied".
My newest original “I Lied” is a song about forgiving someone or showing the mask of being ok when deep down you are not able to forgive or move on past the hurt.
This is a rough demo. I recorded my vocals, guitar & some piano recorded on my IPhone in my living room.
"Merry go round"
Here's an original called "Merry go round"
"Front Porch"
This song debuted during Trish Torline's "Heartstrings Songwriters Circle" at Rohs Opera House
