Although those who meet me find it hard to believe, until a short time ago I lacked self confidence and was deeply afraid of public speaking. At a business networking event I once hid in the restroom so I would not have to stand up and introduce myself! In 1999 I overcame that fear so I could deliver my father’s eulogy. A few month’s after my father’s passing I hosted a party. One of my guests arrived with a karaoke machine in tow. It was explained to me that it was my responsibility to sing first, otherwise no one else would want to participate. I don’t remember what song I sang but I will never forget the feeling I had standing there with the microphone in my hand. It was an intense rush of pleasure the likes of which I had never before experienced. From that moment I was hooked on singing and karaoke. In 2006 I was introduced to an 8 week singing class called Finding Your Voice. While taking the course I discovered that I have talent! As I developed my vocal instrument I learned about breathing, stage presence and many other technical things I had never before thought about. With the classes and the graduation concerts my confidence grew and I allowed myself to dream of one day performing professionally. My “style” is smokey, sultry, sexy and I express my emotions through music. The songs I am drawn to are the old standards, torch songs, songs of unrequited love. On any given evening you can find me at one of San Diego’s many intimate piano bars where I find true happiness singing and sharing the gift of song.
