Artist description
Solo Artist; I play guitar and piano, but my main instument is my voice. I compose both music and lyrics for all my songs. On my first album, VISIONS 1991, I hired studio musicians and my second album, LET GO 1998, was digitally produced. I spent sever al months cooberating on a truly unique project with Mr. Johann London Liche. Not a direction I would have taken on my own, but working with Johann helped to expand my creativity and has, at times, influenced my new material.y› |

Artist History
I've been composing since I was born...well, almost. First public performance ever - 9th grade Choir Concert Solo wherein I played piano and sang an original song about my 1st boyfriend, and my first, (4 years my senior) The song was called "HE'S GONE" (which he was - Military; never saw him again) Began playing guitar at age 9; Piano forever; I discovered my voice early in life, (my mother claims prenatally). I haven't shut up since. 1st studio experience at age 19 when I was hired to sing backup voca ls for ERIC SAVAGE AND THE PENETRATORS - "FANTASY LOVER"; an album promoted by Playboy, Inc. and yes, there was a video made using one of the songs for background music and yes, there was a naked Playboy model starring in it. 1st Album, VISIONS, 1991. 2 nd Album, LET GO, 1998. Founder of TAURUS RECORDS in 1991 - a record label and publishing company I created and still currently own. I have performed in various Top 40 Circuit Touring Bands including; TWO TON JACK, MECCA, ROCKING HORSE, STEVEN JANE, and most recently THE REPUTATIONS, an all-female band formed by me and LuAnn Berry in 1997. I've been the Featured Opening Arist for several national acts such as; KANSAS, REO SPEEDWAGON, APRIL WINE, LEON RUSSELL, ERIC BYRD, CONFEDERATE RAILROAD, THE BELLAMY BROTHERS, HIWAY 101, NORTON BUFFALO, THE OZARK MOUNTAIN DAREDEVILS, ETC. I am currently writing material for my 3rd CD, "3'S A CHARM". Unlike the previous two CD's, this one is totally unplugged, just me and my piano or me and my guitar. It's where I'm most comfortable. No London Symphony this time around.. |

Group Members
Me!!!Me!!!Me!!! Actually, I'm a bit passed the "Me Stage" but I do find working alone or with only one other composer decreases stress and increases productivity. I have two other members in my band, THE REPUTATIONS, but no out of control Nigel of Spina l Tap egocentric maniacs to contend with.or |
