Singer and songwriter blending jazz and songs from musicals. Want to touch people with my music and lyrics. Would love gig and studio work opportunities.
“I think the mark of a good song is you can rearrange it up and it still is a very defining song.” -- Maren Morris
If you can sing your song with out all the bells & whistles that come with elaborate production and it STILL sounds good, that's a keeper!

We get so caught up in our streaming numbers that we forget there are actual humans out there we should be connecting with, not algorithms. You don't build a career with numbers. You build a career with people.
"The amateur way to put out a record is 'I can't wait for people to hear these.' The super pro way is, 'I would be devastated if people didn't hear these.'" @andygrammer
Fans expect music so much more regularly now than they did ten years ago. If you don't continue the engagement and continue to feed them musically, they will move on.
You can’t write great songs with your business cap on. You need a clear head and an open heart to write songs that are meaningful to you and will connect with an audience.
Artists are leaders. Artists help people connect with their souls. Artists not only tap into a higher consciousness but guide their followers to explore states of existence outside the daily mundane. The greatest Artists can inspire a generation into action or a couple into love.
If you depend on luck to succeed you’re going to fail. If you accept that nothing worth having comes easy and are willing to put in the work to make your dreams come true, it will happen. Maybe not exactly how you expected, but you’ll get exactly what you deserve.
This holiday season, don’t forget to create. Be the artist you are. We are so fortunate to have the ability to take struggle and pain and channel that into meaningful, beautiful, therapeutic art. I am grateful.
