Singer who loves both the old and the new. Drawn to melancholic ballads, both standards and my own compositions. Influences: Edith Piaf, Molly Picon, Nina Simone, Billie Holiday, Bill Evans, Daniel Johnston, Peggy Lee, Laura Marling, LP, thelonious Monk, and many more. 

Just like life, music is beautiful in its rawness and sadness. In these recordings, I capture feeling a spark or the magic of a song for the first time! 💥 it’s me entering into relation and letting you in. To be a part of my process of creating. 

These are unfiltered recordings from my phone. Just a voice and keys. Sometimes I’m learning a song or composing. Enjoy! 🤍👩🏼‍🎤💜

My story: I started in New Orleans at 19 as a street singer and occasional jazz nite club chanteuse. I was very shy back then so did a lot of singing on my own acapella. Learning more about music from the kindness of local musicians some whose family lineage went back to the birth of jazz. I sang with Kermit Ruffins who is known as the modern day Louis Armstrong. And loved the general easy-going loving kindness and vibrancy of that community.

I then sang a lot in Sac (Cafe Paris was my main spot) and did some shows, ending up touring on my own across country. I ended up at an Applied Music program at American River where I earned my AA in Jazz Vocals and Studies. I sang with 4-part jazz vocal groups and being 1st alto trained my ear. I studied with Joe Gilman. 

After that I performed Yiddish Vaudeville in SF and eventually worked part-time as a jazz singer for quartets and big bands in the magical & icy land of accordions and polka, the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. And worked with Mike Irish from Michigan Tech. I studied and taught multimodal communication, learned podcasting, how to DJ, and a bit of coding, and focused my thesis on the work of Martin Buber (Jewish existential Humanism) and Luce Irigaray (philosopher of love). I sang at the local synagogue for high holidays.

I ended up at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where I got my Ph.D. In communication studies. I focused on American studies, musicology and performance studies and wrote my dissertation on The Diva and her entrance to US popular culture from 1850–1923. I studied operatic singing at this time with professional opera singer, Monifa Harris. Together we conceived and wrote the 1-woman  operetta that I performed and directed, No One Hurts You More Than S/Mother. It was here that I discovered voice translates beyond gender and my own gender non-conforming identity. 

Recently, I started queer songwriting and rediscovered my voice through a gender fluid potential. My voice is backed by the hard work and long hours of my jazz, classical, and opera training but tempered and expressed with queer/trans sensitivity. Now I feel I’m finally singing in my natural voice. And enjoying each note as I discover the beauty in these songs and myself in my becoming. 

Music for me is spiritual. It’s the way I relate feeling the most comfortable and empowered in my own skin. Right now, I just make music only for myself but eventually would like to branch out and play with others.
