I began my study of music privately while pursuing my career as an illustrator. In 10 years as a musician I have released two CDs as a bandleader, and recorded with numerous other bands. I'm honored to play with outstanding musicians and was delighted when Peter Merrett, of PBS Melbourne Australia heard my first CD and remarked, “A stunning voice, wonderful phrasing on these classic standards breathing new life into every word.” Performance Highlights: Featured performer at The Atlanta Jazz Festival, 2012; A Tribute to Ella Fitzgerald at the Velvet Note, 2014; Jazz Roots, A Larry Rosen Jazz Series Launch, Cobb Energy Centre, 2013; Featured vocalist with The Joe Gransden Big Band, 2014-2016; Featured vocalist with The Kevin Bales Quartet at The Jazz Corner, 2014; Featured performer, High Museum Friday Jazz series, 2014; Celebrating Sarah Vaughan with Kathleen Bertrand and Friends at the 2017 Atlanta Jazz Festival, Main Stage; A Tribute to Joni Mitchell at Morgan Hall, KSU with the Trey Wright Trio, 2018.
