I am a singer/songwriter who is interested in pursuing a performance and composing career in popular music. I have released 2 demos, 2 nationally released albums, and two live albums. I enjoy touring and bringing my music to larger audiences, that I might be a catalyst in allowing people to connect with each other through music. After graduating from college with a degree in film & cultural studies, I started working for an advertising company while performing at open mics in New York City at night. While at the agency, I saved up my money, and recorded an album, which I released in August 2003. After trying to maintain a schedule of performances during the week and weekend between New York City, New Jersey, and Philadelphia, I decided to quit my job at the advertising agency to pursue a performance and composing career full time. I also decided to jump in my car and drive cross-country, stopping to perform in various cities, on an impromptu tour.
To date, I have performed extensively within the US and completed international tours in London, Ireland, and Tokyo. I am currently working as a senior project manager at an advertising agency to support raising funds for my first fully produced studio album that I hope to be able to share with my fans in the coming year. I am looking for financial support to allow me to further develop and promote my music, so that I may return to working full time on creating and performing new music, obtain better musical equipment, and obtain more professional recordings of my songs. I want to be able to learn more, create more, and give back as much as I have been given to others.
