brings a rootsy, Americana, folk vibe to the stage.

of Imlay City, MI where she was a regular part of the
worship team at her church. It expanded and grew to
include writing her own music and releasing her first album
at the age of 17.
She began performing regularly in the Metro Detroit
music scene - appearing at venues like the Crofoot,
the Royal Oak Music Theatre, and countless coffeeshops.
She has opened for A.A. Bondy, Diane Birch, and Isaac Russell.
She released her second, self-titled album before
moving to Seattle in the early 2000s. Since then, she took
some time off to get her degree and is now working her
way back into performing.
