Music I couldn't live without: Joni Mitchell, Laura Nyro, Fleetwood Mac, Mamas and the Papas, Queen, Stevie Wonder, Nina Simone, Sonic Youth, Todd Rundgren, and some screamier stuff that I won't admit : )

I'm 20 years old, I live in New York, and go to school out there. When Your Body Breaks was actually recorded as a student project. The rest of the songs are the result of a recent trip out to LA where I had the incredible experience of recording @ Westlake studios. All of the vocals in the songs up here were one take.

The feedback I've received from my reinterpretation of Katy Perry's I Kissed a Girl has been really overwhelmingly positive, which has made me really happy. I'm really proud of the music video I just finished making for it- it was my first time directing/editing any thing of this nature. Please go check it out and help spread the word if you like it:
