Hi!  Thanks so much for visiting my site! 

🎶 New EP Release – LOVE CALLED 🎶

I’m thrilled to announce that my brand-new EP is here! This project has been a journey of passion, creativity, and self-discovery, and I can’t wait to share it with you. Each track holds a piece of my heart, and I hope it resonates with yours.

✨ Release Date: December 16th
🎧 Available On: Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, etc.

I AM A SINGER SONGWRITER AND MUSICIAN, pulling from my classical roots, gospel folk influences and love of pop/rock music to present a unique, progressive sound.  I write relatable songs from the heart, social issues, and global concerns as well as creating dynamic and contemplative instrumental music. 

With over 25 years on the music scene, I’ve produced numerous albums; performed countless venues and festivals all over North America; freelanced for some great artists; and continue to write, perform, collaborate and record.

Currently residing in Victoria BC, I can be found actively performing solo or with a band in all kinds of local venues sharing pop/rock covers and originals.   I am curator and lead guitarist for an all female Women In Music tribute band called St. Cecilia – truly a celebration of Women and their contribution to the music industry.  Passionate about promoting/supporting female Songwriters like myself, I am curator/host for The Indie YYC Women In Music series – featuring female artists from all over the globe: https://theindieyyc.com
