MyArtist Bio

I am an artist. I believe that one of the greatest forms of art is the art of music. Music can express many thoughts and emotions in a way that no other form of art can. I have been involved in music for the majority of my life. From age five, I was singing in church. My sisters and I would (as embarrassing as it was) parade down the isles of the church singing songs like Sandi Patty's "Friendship Company" with streamers and matching outfits. We were quite a show.

I participated in several plays and musicals, including Lion, Witch, and the Wardrobe (starring); Oklahoma; Sound of Music; Joe Bob (a reinvention of the biblical book of Job, starring); South Pacific (starring); Meet Me in St. Louis (starring) and others that I'm unable to recall. I was given three straight superior ratings at vocal contest, and was first chair sax in the band. I have participated in many vocal ensembles, including Ashland High School's A Capella Chorus, which was rated the number one high school choir in the nation in 2000.

I have also recorded a CD and performed for weddings and events across the state. I spent a few months with Wall Street's Sunday Night Live, which is a musical comedy group. I have experience playing trumpet, sax, guitar and have recently acquired an electric piano (which I wish my parents would have forced me to learn at age three).

My joy is karaoke with friends at least three times a week at local venues. I am hoping to expand into local entertainment and perhaps one day go on tour. I have yet to decide a genre or style; there are so many I love. Do I have to choose?

The most interesting and gratuitous change in my life was my move to Columbus, Ohio. I have determined that the people I have been so privileged to meet have been most effective in helping me to discover myself and my possibilities. I have learned so much and am almost ready to delve into Part 3 of my life. I don't really know what that entails, but be prepared folks, its gonna be big!
