At the age of ten, as I lay sleeping, into my head came something ‘other-worldly’: a complete (melody and lyrics) song. I was sure it was something I’d heard and assimilated. I bolted from my bed, woke my mom, and insisted she listen (at 3:00 am) to “whatever this is, what is this?’ thing in my head. She obliged me with a smile, assured me it was an original song, and a week later, I entered it in the American Songwriters Competition: no win, but the thrill was worth the fee!

Started my first band as a lead vocalist / songwriter at thirteen: took out an ad in the Village Voice and held auditions in a dark, dank studio on New York City's Lower East Side; my bandmates were all in their mid-twenties.

Self taught bassist: no amp / ear to the wood. Played the supporting role of Sandra, the Vocalist / Bassist, in the feature film, "The Vacant Lot" starring legendary guitarist Grant Fullerton of Lighthouse (a 13-piece-rock band). The film chronicles the tribulations of a fictional, feminist, hard-core punk band that recruits a male lead guitarist for their first tour, and all hell breaks loose! Three months of band rehearsals before we recorded the grimy score, written by renowned conductor Scott Macmillan of the Symphony Nova Scotia Orchestra.

Made several appearances on television promoting my music, including a segment on a TV show, which was broadcast live to millions of viewers: I'd not heard any of the tracks prior to the broadcast and got only one take to sing the vocals...hey, that's live TV for ya! It went over very well, and I met a great collaborator thanks to the show.

Cast from thousands of US / nation-wide hopefuls as a performer on VH1's, "Viva La Rock": a reality-TV show that asked the question, "Who answers 'musicians wanted' ads?" Obviously, I do.

I'm also a screenwriter and filmmaker and score all of my films.
