Mezzo-soprano

Classical music was not a part of my life in my early years. My parents played guitar and sang pop music in their spare time. I remember sitting on the floor listening to them play, thinking that it was the best music in the world and I couldn't wait until I was big enough to play guitar.   When I did eventually get a guitar, I wasn't really focused on playing, it was more of a way to accompany myself singing. I spent my late teens and early 20s busking and belting out songs I remembered my parents playing or covers of Jewel, Alanis Morissette, and the Indigo Girls to name a few.  I wasn't truly exposed to classical music until my freshman year in college and then I jumped down the rabbit hole.

I am a classical singer who specializes in opera but I also love musical theatre, oratorio, and art song. New works are a passion of mine and I enjoy the process of working with composers and librettists.  I love storytelling through music and showing people that opera is for everyone no matter what their musical experience is..  I love to listen to all genres of music and if you drive with me in the car, it is very possible that I will be singing along to David Bowie, Tori Amos or the Indigo Girls. I probably forgot what I ate for dinner last night but I could sing along to every word of Pink Floyd's "The Wall" album.
