I started writing poetry as a young girl of about 9 years old. There was always music in the house as my dad was a piano player and my mother a singer. I took the basic lessons piano and voice singing in choirs in school and such. In my late teens I kind of gave music up and I didn't start to write songs until I was pregnant with my son 18 years ago. I guess pregnancy got me in touch with my creativity as I haven't stopped since then. I have been involved with many fun and free spirited projects over the years and have been fortunate enough to have worked with some enormous talent RC Weslowisky, CR Avery, Dianne Laloge, Mary Sue Bell , Rick Keating Carol Wiedeman, Michelle Fillipenko, Bjorn Bryn, SR Duncan, Jeff Kearns, Shannon Cluff,Scott Devarenne, Marnie Grey,Chris Shields, Salmon Avalanche, Al Nadar and the list goes on and on. There are so many awe-inspiring and talented people in that little community called East Vancouver where I lived , raised my son and played music. I have done many festivals and coffeehouses over the years and I was also lucky enough to have one of my pieces involved in a full length award winning movie called "The Gutter Diaries" by Josh Wittall . I have released two cd's of my music the first one titled "Silence" dedicated to child abuse and the second on titled "A Little Disgrace" about my shitty love life. I moved to the Sunshine Coast in December 2008 and have been getting to know the music community there, doing some shows . I am currently booking shows for the winter and spring and am working on a tour for after the thaw. I plan on living in a van and playing music meeting people and having adverntures until I am tired and done.
