Welcome to the Official Rise Records Soundcloud!

Here you can stream all our latest releases and our entire back catalog.

I am many things in this life, but something I will always be, no matter what, is someone for whom music is blood life.  I used to say "Music is the canvas on which my soul is painted."  I was listening to and living by music even before I was out of the womb, and it hasn't stopped since.  I sing, play multiple instruments, and have music on nearly all the time.  I have extremely eclectic tastes, and enjoy a wide variety of styles.  I have also professionally performed a good deal of those (jazz, madrigal, classic rock, gospel, musicals, techno, blues, and even some opera.) 

I am the lead singer for THE ATOMIC CATS, a cover band out of Kansas City, Missouri.  We have been playing (in one form or another) since 2011).  You will see not only my solo works on this site, but my band's recordings as well.  I encourage you to PLEASE listen and LIKE my band, and visit their webpage if you can and like it too.

 This site is going to be the home of my recordings.  For better or worse, perfect or flawed, I present my voice to the world.  I am not a wealthy girl, and won't drop $1000 to make sure every sound byte is flawless or hire the most beautiful band to back me up.  I just want to enjoy the process of perfecting and performing with my OWN voice.  It's been a lifelong passion of mine to have recordings of my singing, and it's been a hard journey to get to the point where it can happen.  I am loving the adventure, and I hope you will come along with me and perhaps enjoy it as well.  PLEASE feel free to comment on, share, or favorite any of my tracks.
