I still remember that day …. I was 4 years old and they were giving out fliers for special music lessons at my kindergarten. I took one home and showed it to my mom. “ Can I take lessons?” Mom said I was too young for piano lessons so she told me to wait another year. So year passed and about the same time the following year (I was 5), I brought home the same flier and said, “OK, MOM!! I can go now, right?”

That was the beginning of the adventure…

I have played so many wonderful songs and sometimes cried as I was playing. I have played with so many great musicians that they gave me chills every second. -------Music is truly a big part of me and my life. I feel so blessed to be able to play and create music everyday. I have to say writing songs is a very magical experience. Song has to come to me and the moment has to be right for it to come.

I wear many hats like all the other women do. Keyboardist, Vocalist, Producer, Arranger, Mom, and Lover…. Mom’s hat is a really heavy one but brings so much joy at the same time. I love singing, too. Especially background vocals… I love harmonies.

Most exciting concert I’ve ever played? That’s a hard question to answer.

If I must answer, I’d say that the first show I played for Chaka Kahn in Portland. I kept pinching my cheek to see if it was a dream.

Well, I hope you got to know me a little better. Please enjoy the songs you hear and also check out some pictures…
