Band to Join.ABOUT
Recently moved to Ottawa from Vancouver, looking to rebuild musical connections.
Let's do music! To celebrate, to console ourselves, to lift ourselves up, to remember what we can become!
I'm cross genre, whatever it takes to unleash the song and reach you.
I'm Fraser Valley [Vancouver] Singer/Songwriter of the Year, 2023, Jazz Artist of the year (2020), Emmy co-winner (2020),
Contralto. 4 octave range.
Lover of nuance, moving you from subtlety to powerful moments in a moment. In the end, it's: did we have an experience?
