I'm a 17-year-old singer/songwriter based in the Washington, DC area. I recently won the Mid-Atlantic Song Contest in the "Young Artist" category. Music is my passion!
When I was 12 years old, I gave up my Play Station for an M Audio keyboard. I plugged it into my Mac and I haven't come up for air since then. I was originally drawn to hip hop and spent a year working on hip hop beats. I was drawn to break dancing, poppin' and locking and went to many dance classes with some of DC's best dancers. There, I gained an appreciation for driving rhythms and movement. Composing all the beat tracks on my keyboard served as the foundation for my songwriting of the alternative rock songs that I have been working on over the last 3 years.

In 2004, I met Daniel Brindley of the Brindley Brothers Band. Daniel mentored me on keyboard and music composition and a fantastic local DC singer, Mary Ann Redmond, worked with me to polish my vocals. Having just turned 16, I have a solid repertoire of original songs and I released my first EP in November 2006. Now I'm performing at some of DC's local hotspots like Jammin' Java and working on developing my fan base.

My second CD, "Seasonal Delivery was released on May 12, 2008. You can get it and my first cd "Not What It Seems" on itunes, Napster and other digital outlets or just click "buy it" on this page.

Thanks for the visit! I hope you enjoy my music.

Thanks!

When i was little I really didn't many friends, so music made me who I was. Now that I am in high school, and about to graduate, I haven't been playing as much I would like to.

P.S. I think it is cool that you can sing really well :)
