I've been singing all my life and professionally in Nashville for 9 years now. I've sang countless demos for songwriters that have been pitched to multiple country artists, although I'm mainly a pop/rock/r&b style singer. I've also written my own music, collaborated with many writers and have had my own song hit top of the charts in Texas.
I work in multiple genres including pop, rock, soul and r&b, country and jazz.
For the past 6 years I've performed with multiple cover bands in and out of Nashville and have recently released a quirky little EP on Spotify.
I'm a vocalist and that's what I'm here for! I would can sing any style for your demo or project and would also love to top line or write lyrics to a melody.
If you contact me about recording vocals for your song, please let me know if the song has been written fully or if you would like me to help with that process or if you simply have the music for a song, I would prefer the idea for what you want for the song and I can come up with a catchy melody and lyrics for it.
If you are planning on releasing something please let me know prior to that if you are thinking of using my name on it.
WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU!
