Bio

When I was about seven years old, my mom gave me my first piano lesson. My older sister, Rebecca, was also beginning lessons. Rebecca was a natural. She read the notes perfectly and could soon play all kinds of music. I was not so lucky. I struggled to read any of the notes. I found that if my mom just played the song for me--I could learn better. Incidentally, my piano lessons were short lived. I just could not read music.

As I graduated from high school, I went on to college. I mainly focused on my studies and ended up marrying my high school boyfriend my senior year. After working as a Social Worker for three years, my husband graduated and we moved from Provo, Utah to Denver, Colorado. I had just had my first little girl and became a stay at home mom. Three and a half years later, I would have my second daughter. It was during those years staying home that I realized I had become very lonely. I was just doing what everyone else around me seemed to be doing---so why was I so unhappy. I remember looking for the answers everyday on Oprah--I read every book she recommended. It started to dawn on me that I had no passion. I was "dream-less". As I searched my heart and mind, I kept coming to music. I was 27 years old and no one in my life knew I had songs playing in my head. How could I just tell everyone I wanted to write music-- who would even believe me or take me seriously?

Then one day, in May of 2000, I was told that the mother of a friend of mine was dying from ovarian cancer. It was a tragic situation and I found myself thinking about my friend a lot. Her mother only had days to live and I could not imagine what she was going through. As I was driving in my car, a song came into my mind--almost entirely. I ended up at my mother's home where a piano was available. Some of my sisters were there and I remember shaking as I played. After I finished, the people in the rooom were crying. My sister asked if I would sing it for our mutual friend. Our friend came over and after hearing the song, asked me to sing it that weekend. I did sing the song with the help of my four sisters. This experience was the beginning of my dream to write music.

In June 2002, I turned 28. It had been a year since I sang my first song for my friend's mom. I had so much music in my head at that point, I remember distinctly telling myself---this is the year. I have to make something happen. I had no money, but took out a credit card. I found a producer who had a studio in his garage. I went to his house every night for nearly two months to work on my songs. Neither one of us really knew what we were doing--but it was turning out better than I had anticipated. After I had a demo of about 5 songs, I thought "what now?".

One day, my Schwann's guy came to my door to get my order. He told me there was a girl on his route that was into music. He gave me her number and I called right away. She was a member of a Christian organization for song writers. They were all getting ready to submit music to the annual Gospel Music Association's event at Estes Park, Colorado. I began attending their group and was encouraged to enter my music in a song contest that sends the winner to an all expense paid trip to Estes Park later that summer. I actually ended up winning the contest. I attended the convention and learned about the Christian Music Industry. I was very inspired by what I had seen. Later that year, I moved back to Utah with my husband and two girls with the goal of making a difference for people through my music.

Over the past two years, I have had much success for a girl "just getting started." I am currently working with a Nashville artist, who will be recording my music for her album. But most importantly, I found myself because I followed my dream. I did have passion for something--even if it took me many years to remember. My days are more colorful now and I am cotent---from the inside out.
