To say I'm passionate about music, is an understatement. Like many singers- there was a time when all I dreamt about was a recording contract with a major record label. Fortunately, through my many musical endeavors-I've come to realize my joy comes through performing and writing great songs. Not waiting on someone to sign me. Without fail...touching people through my music, is a feeling (as any true artist can attest) that is incomparable! I'm also convinced, if we have a gift/dream...we shouldn't wait for opportunities. We should create our own.

As some of you are aware, I've been planning to release a project that represents who I am as a vocalist/songwriter. In other words, I want to present a quality EP with my original songs. I'm enlisting the talent of some amazing musicians and an equally fantastic producer. I'm requesting your assistance, to complete such an endeavor.

Many of you have hired me for gigs, while others have heard me on-stage, via social media or possibly seen/heard me busking. Your comments, likes, smiles & applause has served as encouragement for me to "stay the course" as an artist. If it is within your budget, please extend your support for this project, through a contribution. Any amount gets me a step closer to a professional EP, camera for my youtube channel, ITunes upload etc. No amount is too small- $5.00 can make a huge difference. All proceeds will be used to pay my producer, musicians, studio sessions, a videographer, a venue for the release party, CD's/covers, a website, business cards etc.

Thanks in advance, for your contribution.
