A little bit of bluesy jazz, 60's pop, a hint of folk, and singer-songwriter-at-the-piano type compositions.
I was born in Calcutta India, then was adopted and brought to Washington State, where I have lived all of my life. I began piano lessons when I was 6 years old, then classical voice lessons when I was a teenager. I have sung in both jazz and classical choirs, but my true love is solo singing. I enjoy singing jazz, soul, rock, and classical literature. I graduated in June 2005 from Central Washington University with a Bachelors Degree in Music. I am currently working on recordings with my very talented boyfriend/writing partner/producer/guitarist, Jonathan Atkinson. Stay tuned for some amazing song samples.
I have also composed and arranged songs for jazz ensemble and classical choir. Feel free to contact me if you would like to see my choral compositions/arrangements.
