I was born and raised in Amsterdam, New York and was blessed to grow up in a very strong, theatrical and musical family. My father was a successful, gifted actor and director in the region. My mother was a music teacher and an accomplished musician. Acting and music have been a lifelong passion, but it wasn't until after I lost my parents 20 days apart from each other in 2019, that my life hit an all-time low. It was at this time that I started writing music and lyrics, while teaching myself how to play the ukulele that my father bought for me on my birthday a few months before he passed. I also play the guitar and piano which are incorporated in my songs. To say that songwriting helped heal me is an understatement. I went on to write and record songs that are centered around being thankful and never giving up in life no matter how hard things get.
