My musical inspiration has come from many people and experiences throughout my life. Growing up, music was a part of my family—my two brothers, my mother, and I all shared a love of singing, and making music together became one of my greatest joys.

During high school, I received two years of private vocal training, which helped shape my passion and develop my voice. I was especially inspired by Ella Fitzgerald's extraordinary artistry and Joni Mitchell's heartfelt songwriting. Joni's ability to tell deeply personal stories through her music touched my heart and showed me the power of authentic expression.

One of the highlights of my career was winning First Prize in the World Music category of the John Lennon Songwriting Contest with my co-writer, Richard Callaci, for our song, "Abundance." As part of the award, I was flown to New York and interviewed on MTV—an unforgettable experience.

Over the years, I've had the privilege of performing with many gifted writers, producers, and artists, including Cliffie Stone, Michael Nesmith, Bill Medley, Kenny Loggins, and Little River Band, among others. Each collaboration has enriched my musical journey and deepened my love for creating music.

I feel incredibly grateful and blessed to be living such a beautiful life, doing what I love and sharing my music with others.
