If three words just aren't enough, then tell us more!! My music can range from dark to happy, from Indie to singer-songwriter to straight-up pop. It just depends on what is happening in my life at the time. I write in a variety of styles, so there are plenty of songs to satisfy a listener's taste. I usually gear toward the darker side, because it helps me process my feelings and emotions and I hope helps others too. But I do like to write some heartwarming songs as well, and sometimes some extremely happy upbeat songs! A lot of my music has also appeared in Film & TV- including a song in a movie with John Travolta! What is your favorite part about being an artist? Is it songwriting, performing, recording, something else?) Tell us why. .... Click Here to Read More!
