I started singing and entertaining when I was 11 years old, and two major musical influences at that time for me was Broadway music, folk music and 60's and 70's pop and rock music. I have a very extensive musical performance background, but I would have to say that 60's and 70's pop and rock is my favorite genre to perform. Broadway music is also a very strong passion for me. The Rock musical excited me as a young performer, and rock groups such as the Mama's and the Papa's, The Fifth Dimension, The eagles, The Carpenters, and folk rock groups such as Peter Paul and Mary, Joan Baez, Joni Mitchell, and Judy Collins, and Rock performers from the 70's such as Linda Rondstadt and Elton John were also strong influencers. These groups and singers mentioned are just a few of my very favorite bands and solo singers who influenced my style and interest as a performer. As a classically trained singer, I also received extensive vocal training in the classical music genre that created a strong musical foundation and core for my pop and modern musical work.
