Embrace who you are. Enjoy your life. Smile often.

I've felt it my whole life. The overwhelming feeling to sing and perform my own music. For as long as I remember, I've always been that kid who was always singing! I was classically trained in piano and violin, however never singing till of recent times, where I have now graduated with a Music Major, with voice as my principal study.
It is only now that I can truly say where that calling was from. It was a call from our Creator, for me to fulfil what He intended me to do. 
I wasn't brought up a Christian, however since reaching a desperate point in my life 7 years ago, I had come to the most precious and beautiful knowledge of all.....that is the knowledge of our Savior Jesus Christ. .. Through Him I have finally understood my true purpose in my life. To sing and praise the Lord and hopefully in doing so, draw others closer to having a personal relationship with Christ.
My music journey began as a child growing up listening to my Dads old records.  Than I found myself in my own teenage years listening to almost every genre of music. 
It was my Mothers actual singing talents that I inherited as far as the vocals go. If it weren't for Mum driving me to the many music lessons, music concerts, and rehersals, there never would have been any music at all!. So just as ABBA once said 'Thank You For The Music' is what I say to my beautiful, long suffering and talented Mother.
At age seven, I learnt Classical Violin and Piano, as well as Theory Of Music, until I graduated highschool. I have since taken on the guitar as well. During highschool, when I was fourteen, I won a major prize in poetry, for my depiction of 'Tradgedy Of War', run by the Australian Red Cross Society. They said they loved the way I invoked depth and feeling within my poem. 

On leaving highschool, my journey took me right across the continent. After a lot of soul searching, finding my feet, and knowing what direction I wanted to move in. I found myself up in the Kimberlies in Far North Western Australia. It was the year 2003, and I had just finished writing and composing my very first track.

There was something truely amazing about the beauty set against the harshness of the land in the Kimberlies that completely inspired me to want to write my music. For the first time in my life, I truely knew exactly what I wanted to do.....write, compose and perform my own music.

Many things happened since that first song, I went through 11 years in a tumultuous marriage, till in 2008 the relationship crashed and burned.  
I was depressed and felt numb, no longer able to function.  I broke up with my husband with intention to divorce.  However, God had other plans.
When I left my husband, he surrendered his heart to Jesus.  He said he had felt the presence of Christ knocking at his heart his whole life,  but it wasn't until I left him that he realised his great need for Jesus in his life.  My husband had been brought up a Seventh Day Adventist Christian, but due to many tragedies had left the church at the age of 18.

So here he was pleading for Jesus to come into his heart, 25 years later.  His prayer was "Lord I'll do anything you want me to do, if you could one day, restore my wife and my children back to me".  
Many miracles happened, that I don't have space to write here, but the bottom line was our marriage was brought back from destruction and made new.
It was Christ working in my husbands heart that brought Jesus into my life, and now my heart.
Our marriage was saved by the power of Christ in our lives.

This music ministry is dedicated to Jesus, and His continued working power in our life.
