40 years ago a band like Rock Rebel Rising couldn’t have existed. The idea of combining such diverse backgrounds and musical influences would have been too much to control, much less handle. To put it bluntly, people back then were not ready for a sonic revolution and when you fast forward to today, vestiges of days past still plague the music scene: the gimmicky, the unoriginal, the FAKE. The time for Rock Rebel Rising to be the voice for real and definite change is now.

I am a full on entertainer.  My background consists of studying various activities such as piano, voice, flute, guitar, cooking, piano, jazz dance, tap dance, gymnastics, a yoga teacher, makeup, and music production and engineering.

I started modeling part time in addition to working in music while I was in high school.  In the smaller venues in Philadelphia I found a lack of acceptable makeup artists.  After a horrible shoot where the artist completely ruined my eyebrows among other things, I decided I would be my own makeup artist.  Since then I have done ALL of the makeup for all my shoots and performances.  I became so proficient with makeup that other models and musicians noticed and began asking me to do their makeup as well (even the men!)  Now all the makeup I do is primarily Airbrush with the Temptu S/B system which I am in love with.  

I currently also live in Boston and travel frequently. I ended up in Boston when I attended Berklee College of Music for production and engineering.  During my time there I did modeling and makeup for friends performances as well as music videos.  

I am available for modeling, music and makeup.  I am more than willing to travel if compensated for travel costs.
