I have been in love with making music since I was child. My journey begin with rhythm and drums though I am entirely self-taught. SO in love I was, in fact, that once I even ate a can of cat food in order to get my aunt to let me play her piano (It’s a long story, see the above video). I made my first drum set out of shoe boxes and pencils in my room because my father could not (or would not) buy me one.

Music saved my life. It has been a friend, a refuge, a teacher, and I know we can never be separated because my destiny is woven with hers.

I began singing almost by accident, though it was something I was always curious about. You see. . . I was in a hardcore metal band (haha! I know! It was an interesting chapter and I am quite proud of it). And, we didn’t have a main singer, or maybe he got sick, I cant quite remember. Anyways, the next in line, was me! I screamed all my anger into that microphone. And it was magic. All the injustice. All the frustration. All the people that had hurt me, all the rage I felt for life. I brought it to our music and to the stage. I think this time may have actually cleaned my voice…refined it, like  starting to polishing a diamond or something of the sort.
