i'm a singer-songwriter, born raised and revved up in norfolk, va. i have been performing live since the age of three. playing instruments while performing live since 2001. i am still apprenticing under my father, bob zentz, who is showing me the ropes of being a 20th century troubadour. one of my great life goals! said father brought me to a week long folk/art camp in 2001 called common ground on the hill and it changed my life. it probably has a lot to do with why i do what i do these days. i have taught ukulele at beginner and intermediate levels, and have taken a hefty handful of songwriting courses. i've played at harbor fest, the state fair of virginia, hampton bay days, the ocrafolk festival in north carolina, the roots music & arts festival in maryland and dozens more little places. i believe that music has the power to change the world and i'm trying hard to do my part.
also, i think it's neccesary that we care about things that are important...for instance:
i just recorded my DEBUT album in ocracoke, and it came out this june. if you want it, you can get it...here!
