I began writing songs in 2009 and recorded my first album this year with a group of amazing musicians. My songs are influenced by many different cultures and fused with my life experiences and creative ideas. The musicians who recorded on this album gave my songs the perfect eclectic feel I had hoped to achieve on the album. You'll hear world music along with some jazzy, catchy and even slightly country sounds. It's my hope that there is a song for everyone on my CD to enjoy. "Compassion, Equanimity, Joy, Love."
