I was born and raised in Wheeling, WV, and surrounded by music my entire life. Nobody in family really sang professionally or was in a band or anything, but Everyone around me loved music. I learned all of the words to REM's "it's the end of the world as we know it" by the time I was 10 years old. My first real exposure to singing in public started when I was 9 years old. I was appointed to sing a solo at my vacation bible school, and from the moment I opened my mouth on that stage I was hooked. I wanted more than anything to be a singer. Don't get me wrong, a little fame would be nice, but I am not going to lose any sleep over not having any...I just want to sing. I guess it wouldn't be so bad if people wanted to listen to me do it.
Presently I sing fulltime at the Victoria Vaudeville Theater in downtown Wheeling, WV. There I get to do a variety of music and sing with an awesome band. I do anything from Patsy cline, Linda Ronstadt, to the Shirells and Little Eva. I also do the backup for the "memories of Elvis" portion of the show. I prefer to do more folk or rock music.
I am a 2008 Starquest winner....I never really win anything so I am gonna be really proud of this one!!!
I am presently working on my first album. It really takes a lot of work on the production side but I am recording with a real professional! There will be a few covers as well as a few new originals, and can't wait to get it out there!!
