My great Uncle Brownie (McGhee) put the first instrument in my hands - a guitar - when I was around five years old. I was fascinated and pretty hardcore hooked on music from that point on.
Tori Amos re-lit my passion for the piano and performing as a solo artist. Thanks to Tori, Kate Bush & Ani DiFranco for teaching me to push beyond my comfort zone and experiment with my voice & sound on another level.
