| Bio : | I've always been a singer, always. I remember (or am told rather) that the very first "musical talent" I displayed was when I was 3 or 4 years old after I saw The Bodyguard; I would go around singing "I Will Always Love You" (ha, rather I’d go around belting “I Would Always Love You). So many times while growing up I would say, "I'm going to go into the music industry" and I remember my dad always telling me, "You only want to do that because it's easy and you don't have to try". That stuck with me forever and I pretty much wrote it off. I had no idea that my dad was really saying, “You aren’t willing to cultivate your talent, you just want a free ride off of what you have without growth”. I'd have to say that I realized I had an innate creative power for music when I moved out on my own. I had all these singers who I admired and could just...feel their music moving through me. I realized while I was singing that I was just imitating. I would get so frustrated and annoyed by my own voice I would just stop. One day I was listening to Antony and the Johnsons "Spiraling" and I realized how much I loved his vibrato use. When I would sing for my youth group I was always told to hide it because it's what people did when they couldn't hold a note. He used it so freely, demonstrating it was just one part of who (yes, who) his voice was. I then decided I would use mine the same way. All of a sudden I started to realize all of these little traits that other singers had that I just loved and wanted to add to my voice. Before I knew it, I was singing and conveying who I was through whatever song I was singing and in turn began to love my voice. I started writing again and instead of writing with the mindset of "I wonder who's going to listen to this song?" I wrote with the mindset "what have I to say, today”? All of this "self-discovery" so to speak, has led me to where I am now; a singer/songwriter who is doing nothing more than conversing with whoever will listen, through song. I live by my favorite quote from Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit "If you wake up in the morning and you can't think of nothing but singing, then you're supposed to be a singer, girl". If I had to say what I wanted my music to accomplish, it would be this: I want you to enjoy what I have to say and in turn, engage me. | |
