Who am I? A singer, a very enthusiastic musician who collects new instruments like Pokemon, a crafter, and mediocre DIY-er. I can’t fit it all in just one page. But I can tell you a little about my history with music!
I started taking piano lessons in the first grade, and have loved making music ever since! I inflicted my first vocal performance on all the parents who lived on my street in 1998. When I was just a budding singer, two of my neighbors and I sang over a karaoke tape of “My Heart Will Go On” (it was terrible but the parents said they loved it). I went on to sing in choirs for the next ~15 years, and played piano accompaniment to friends and classmates while they performed their instruments or sang.
I picked up the guitar in high school, and led the praise band at a summer camp for 7 years after that. Two instruments wasn’t enough, though. I’ve played hand bells, hand chimes, and the fife. I love playing all sorts of hand percussion from the djembe to the egg shaker. My instrument menagerie includes the mandolin, piano, drums, guitar, melodica, xylophone, jaw harp, and washboard. I’m currently working on learning the cello and harmonica too!
I just really love music – like, a LOT. It is the absolute joy of my life whenever I get to make music with and for other people. I sing lead in an emo cover band, have a solo project called Feral Birds, and you’ll find me out playing at open mics, riffing along at bluegrass and blues jams, or singing too loudly to myself walking and biking around town.
