I grew up around music. My father was a musician and recorded in the studio locally as well as on stage at bars, weddings and some of his bands had shirts they sold. Sadly, he did not pursue fame and fortune. But I love to sing and was once signed to a local record label here back in 2002. PR fell through and I lost my management due to domestic situations and left to San Antonio to make it on my own in 2003. I have had several editors choice awards and have written a book, which at this time is not published but will be. Without the proper management I lost everything. Now I love to share other artists via networking online because their trying gives me hope that I might be able to do something more than just be an assistant for a training director.
