If you’re expecting some tale about a gifted child prodigy, or a girl born into poverty whose only escape was music, or anything of that nature which you would usually find in a story like this one about a musician or an entertainer, you won’t find it here.

I haven’t been singing since I could talk (not that I’m aware of), I’ve only been playing guitar for six years, piano for about a year, and I still work several jobs in order to pay my rent each month.

I am not that which dreams are made of; I am not the picture of success. I have had several opportunities to make something happen and, so far, all of these have fallen through. In some cases, the failure was my own… probably not enough preparation on my part. In other instances, it just wasn’t my day; no luck, I suppose.

But I like to say, that if you can’t climb over all the walls that hold you back, you break them down. You decide to make your own opportunities and quit relying on fate or luck or other people to give those chances to you.

So, here I am... in all my glory or lake thereof, wrapped in melodies, and lyrics, and heart.

And if you like what you hear, and want more, please stay tuned for my very first record, coming summer 2009 (produced by Gary Tharp, whose recent credits include Kina Grannis among others).
