My parents always say that I showed a propensity toward performing, and I started at an early age. When I was five, I would ring a neighbor's doorbell- just to sing her a song. I first put lyrics to music while I was spending the summer of 2011 in LA- at the suggestion of my, then, theatrical agent. I was there, primarily, to take acting classes, attend a handful of acting camps, and reading in front of casting directors. As the summer progressed- my passion turned from acting to making music. I took guitar and voice lessons through the Venice based independent artist Terra Naomi, and she taught me some simple chord progressions. From that point forward, I used my songwriting as a vessel to address the concerns that teens face, and issues that they deal with on a day to day basis. I was selected to be one of 25 Kansas City students to participate in the GRAMMY Music Revolution Project that took place over the course of a month during the summer of 2013. As a participant, we worked in groups on song composition, arranging, production, and marketing. In August of 2014, while performing one of my original songs at a local coffee shop- I was approached by Michael "Seven" Summers, a producer at Strange Music- (an independent label here in Kansas City that was co-founded by rapper Tech N9ne). Initially, he discussed the prospect of having me write songs for the daughter of Travis O'Quin (the other co-founder of the label) and a band that was yet unsigned. Though nothing has yet to come about, as far as writing for these other acts- I was given an opportunity to write a hook for Tech himself. I produced a demo, and it was presented to Tech. He loved it- so I went into Strange Musics' studios in December that year, and recorded my vocals. The song is called "A Certain Comfort" and appears on Tech's "Special Effects" album. Since then, I've also written and recorded the hook and bridge on Prozak's "House of Cards" off his Black Ink album. I am also featured on Tech N9ne's most recent album The Storm. The song "Hold On Me" contains three verses from one of my original songs. Mr. Summers was looking to have me collaborate with him in developing my own unique sound- and expressed a desire to have me write and record some tracks. Though it doesn't appear that will be developing any further, I do hope to do more work with Seven and Strange Music. Beyond my involvement with Strange Music, I have also recorded a hook on independent rapper C The Gray's "Best And Worst" which appears on his "Class Of" CD. I also was honored to be an official showcase performer at the 2015 Folk Alliance International conference held in Kansas City, I also play cello in my schools Chamber Orchestra. I have performed over 40 gigs of mostly original material throughout several venues in the greater Kansas City area. As of the date of this writing, I am unsigned to any label as a performer or songwriter.
