Contralto Jazz/Steampunk/Lounge/JukeJoint blues/cabaret singer with a lifetime of experience. I studied at Cambrian. Great at composition. Sight reading isn't horrible. I have a very specific kind of voice (think Ella Fitzgerald meets Queen Latifa in Chicago) which is hilarious coming out of a skinny little green haired white chick. I have a love for burlesque style music as well as steampunk and 1920-1940's jazz. I have a bawdy sense of humor and adore being on a stage. I'm always memorable, have a big voice and great stage presence. Not a bad actress either. Off the stage however I'm nerdy and awkward and you never have to worry about ego or me taking control. I prefer not to be in charge.
I'm up for anything from a full time gig to a fun band to people to jam with.
