Artist Statement
Dance is my first and forever love, my release, and my religion. Without it, I wouldn’t have the clarity to write. But when I auditioned for my first band, there was no question that this was home for me as a performing artist. It was comfortable and natural. I could lose myself in the performance of a song without inhibition. If the performance was imperfect, the audience was forgiving. If I was genuine, they were moved. I could connect with the audience by just letting go. I could listen to what was being played in a rehearsal, and pull words and melodies out of the air.
I remember as a kid walking along the sidewalk and singing a song that was stuck in my head. For the life of me I couldn’t figure out what it was, and I wasn’t clear on all of the lyrics - just a few phrases. I realized that it wasn’t a song I had heard before. It was my own. Many of my songs still come to me that way, out of silence. As if they are already there. I just have to hear them clearly enough to get them out. Other songs are inspired by listening to an instrumental track, closing my eyes, and listening for the words and melodies that are there somewhere in the spaces between the notes waiting to be heard.
Electronic composition, recording, and production came as a logical extension of writing and a growing need to capture ideas and develop them independently. Digital audio production has become a large part of my creative life allowing me to flesh out my own ideas, work with other artists and organizations, create remixes, dabble in sound design, narration, and ad spot creation, and build a catalogue of original music.
