I am a Los Angeles-based singer, pianist, composer, and performance artist.  My original musical works are influenced by my classical training, and fall into three self-styled genres:  Neo-Medieval Chant-based Works,  A Cappella Story Songs, and Art-Pop Songs for Voice and Piano.  My performance art works combine theatrical and musical elements in a way that is at once concrete  and dreamlike.
 
I also sing classically around Los Angeles, focusing primarily on works of other living composers and early music (i.e., Medieval and Renaissance works).  
 
I hold degrees from Florida State University (BA Music) and California Institute of the Arts (MFA in Music, Vocal Performance), and I am currently a doctoral student studying early music performance at the University of Southern California’s Thornton School of Music.
