“Music is my passion, my first true love. I can always depend on the words to elevate me when I am down and shelter me when I am lost.”
Who am I?
I am a woman of integrity. I
only learn from my own fall. I wake up each day with a purpose and a
plan. I am a little girl, a grown woman and a proud aunt and maybe one
day, a mother. I can be shaken, but it does take a lot to really get
to me. I am a creative vessel that needs to express myself, in some
way or form, each day of my life.
I am constantly redefining
what it means to me to be an artist. I am on a path, day in and day
out, to find the right balance between being a “normal” person, versus
living the life of a creative individual. Yes, I am a singer
/songwriter, but peel away one layer and you’ll see the dancer twirl
right in and onto a stage. Take a step further and peel another layer
and you’ll find that little girl from The Bronx, who didn’t know the
meaning of the word, “I can’t.
I have been at my art since the
age of three, and I will continue to do so until I breathe my last
breathe on this earth. As for what I have accomplishments over the
years, here’s a rundown of it all.
My second studio album,
“Bend”, was nominated for “Independent Triple A Album of The Year” by
the Los Angeles Music Awards. I have been an ACAPLU$ winner since
2001, was chosen as one of the Hot 100 Unsigned Artist four years in a
row at Music Connection Magazine, and received a nod from Billboard
Songwriting Contest a few years back for my songs "Bend", "Nothing
Without You", "I'm No Saint" and "He's Like Strawberry Milk".
Presently,
I have recorded two full band albums: “Bend” (2004) & “Another Day
in the Dark”(2000) and two acoustic projects called, “Just Me and My
Taylor” & “Silenced” (2002-2003). I made three music videos for my
songs, “Running Out Of Time”(2002), “I'm No Saint” (2003-2004) and
“Nothing Without You” (2006).
I’ve been seen on “Arizona
Midday” & “Laff it Off With Grace”, and heard on “Planet Music”
& “Lady J Live”, as well as been seen and heard on other shows,
podcasts & indie radio stations over the past years. I recently
released a single called “Lone Pine” for digital download and look
forward to starting a new project with all my newest creations on it.
It’s
funny how I ended up staying in LA. See, I released “Another Day in
The Dark” back in 2000 in NYC. I had my cd release party at “The Elbow
Room”, which is sadly no longer there. What a great room! Anyway, in
2002, I took a trip to LA to sell the remainder of that album, about
600 copies, on Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica. I gave myself
a 6 month window in LA. Five days a week I was street performing and
selling my cd’s. So many stories, so many opportunities and so much
growth to tell about! But not here. So, I sold out of those copies
and ended up recording two new acoustic cd’s to sell, which then lead
to my fourth full length album, “Bend”. But way before that, I was
gonna go back to NY, as I’d planned, but my apartment ended up going on
fire the week before I was to return to NY. I had a round trip ticket
ready to go! Well, it seemed so clear to me what to do. I went home,
looked at my burned down house in Astoria on the corner of Steinway
& Broadway, got sad, took care of it all and got back on a plane to
start my new life in LA.
Since then, I have performed at many
clubs, coffeehouses, festivals, private events, house concerts and
wineries in NY, LA, Arizona, Nashville, London etc. Just give me an
audience and I’ll do the rest! I hope I have said enough, and at the
same time, too little.
