My musical career has been varied including Violinist in the Winnipeg Symphony and Manitoba Chamber Orchestra from 1988 - 1994.  After my performing career was cut short by "focal dystonia" in my bow hand, I began my string teaching career, first in Minnesota, and currently in Arizona.  I have always enjoyed writing songs along the way and after acquiring several independent publishing deals, I have begun to record and release my own music in the past three years.

I grew up in a musical family and played the violin in the Winnipeg Symphony and Manitoba Chamber Orchestra in my first career.  After developing "focal dystonia" in my bow hand, I began my 2nd career as a strings teacher.  All along, I've enjoyed writing songs as a hobby.  After getting a few published and released by other artists, I decided to try my hand at singing my own songs and I'm really enjoying it!  I typically record my own piano and vocals, if money is tight I'll make my own bass, drum, and acoustic guitar parts on the computer, but I always hire pro's to fill out the electric guitar parts as I am not a guitar player. 

I have enjoyed writing songs for most of my 62 years and recently, through the magic and wonder of the internet, have began recording and releasing them on streaming platforms.  What fun!
