My new EP arriving shortly

Never underestimate a girl with unlimited audacity.

A little about me

I was a theater kid growing up and spent many hours impersonating Julie Andrews. In college I transitioned from musical theater to opera. I graduated from North Central College with two music degrees in vocal performance and music composition. I have performed in multiple operas and musicals. My most recent roles include Young Heidi (Follies), Gretel (Hänsel und Gretel), and Zerlina (Don Giovanni). 

My EP draws from many influences. Some of my songs, like the Sun Sets at Eight, heavily incorporate jazz elements. I love jazz, it creates this sense of mystery and ambiguity. On the opposite end of the spectrum, some songs, like Rituals, follow a classic format. I took inspiration from Mozart. It starts out with a steady alberti bass and transitions to 6/8, like the aria Batti Batti. I’m also inspired by artists like Kate Bush and David Bowie, they have such a profound sense of storytelling that I tried to emulate in Manic Pixie Dream Girl and Space Cadet. 

I teach voice, piano, and songwriting. I love teaching, each private lesson gives me the chance to understand my students and tailor each lesson for growth while incorporating the personal goals of the student. I believe in progress, not perfection. I use the Faber books for my piano students. which breaks down music theory and piano technique in a way that is very accessible for new piano students. For my voice students, I prioritize vocal health and proper technique. Healthy singing and an open mind are the cornerstones for all of my voice lessons.
