A Little About Myself

I am a wife, a mom, a musician, a private music teacher, and a homemaker. I have a full, exciting, non-stop, entertaining life here in Music City. My husband is a professional guitarist who travels, records, produces, and directs bands. We have two children who make our life even happier and more adventurous than it already was before they entered it. I have been a musician since I began singing every Barbra Streisand song I knew at age 4, and playing Chariots of Fire on the piano by age 5. I write, sing, and record whenever I am blessed enough with the time to do so. I have finished two albums and am currently working on my third. I am a trained classical pianist, and teach private piano lessons during the week. At times, motherhood has placed my music on the back burner, so in the meantime, I place every yummy thing to eat on the front burner to keep my mind and world filled with creativity, beauty, and love! I love and adore cooking and entertaining. I entertain at 1-2 times every week. My husband travels quite a bit as a guitarist, so when he is away, I have to hold the fort down by continuing to teach, take care of the kiddos, set up time with my girlfriends -in order to not become a sad and lonely mom who only wears her yoga pants (black of course, because it makes her feel skinnier) and her hair in a dirty bun because she never sees anyone- and also continue cooking healthy and wonderful meals for my kids and me, while he is away. It’s a lot! But when you are a musician in Music City, your life runs on a different pace than the rest of the world, and the only ones who truly understand that pace are all the other self-employed musicians! We work, we travel, we create, we LOVE what we do, and it is a weird and crazy life, but because of us....you all have great music to listen to!
