Bio

My love is singing, songwriting, playing my instruments and performing in the hope of enriching the lives of others. Plus I enjoy making music a lot!!

“Zinger” a six string, “Sweet Baby” a 12 string, “Little Boy Blue” a mandolin, and “Big Yama” a piano, are my instruments.

My journey through music began at the early age of 6. Singing at church, in school choir and at special events. Over time I learned to play guitar, mandolin and piano.

I was blessed with music loving parents with beautiful voices who cultivated my love of music by making sure I had plenty of exposure to it.

Aside from performing and songwriting I’ve produced/co-produced several events, served as MC and stage manager for various events.

Co-founded and co-produced the 2009 and 2010 Texas Independent Music Expo with Lisa Byrn held at Son's of Hermann Hall in Dallas, TX.

TIME was an educational event with workshops geared toward helping independent music artists sharpen their skills, produce, promote and connect with industry related vendors, producers and educators.

Produced several fund raisers and small events through the years.

Presently I am concentrating on booking at house concerts, receiving airplay on radio/internet stations and music placement for soundtrack, commercials, TV, video games, etc.

I will continue performing at retirement/nursing centers and other select events.
