About Me...

I was born and raised in the lovely little town of Holden, Massachusetts and now reside in (almost always) sunny Los Angeles. I've been singing since I can remember but discovered my voice in high school (chorus, musicals, glee club) and when in college (Fairfield University) decided I was long overdue to play an instrument and that's when I fell in love with those six strings. Luckily I had my mom's 1963 Martin Classical guitar to learn on (I had no idea the relic I was strumming on) before I got my very own Takamine.

I gravitate towards the color green, always, and I love lattes of any kind. I started writing songs on guitar before I really knew how to play (with influences by the Indigo Girls, Radiohead, Jeff Buckley at the time). I have a little dog named Ella and I adore her. I recorded a demo in college ("Bits and Pieces"), and a year later recorded my first professional CD ("Here and In Between") in Worcester, MA. In late 2004 I packed my bags and drove across the country to San Diego and dove right into the music scene where I met amazing musicians while doing many open mic nights (and released my EP "Hummingbird").

About Me...

I was born and raised in the lovely little town of Holden, Massachusetts and now reside in (almost always) sunny Los Angeles. I've been singing since I can remember but discovered my voice in high school (chorus, musicals, glee club) and when in college (Fairfield University) decided I was long overdue to play an instrument and that's when I fell in love with those six strings. Luckily I had my mom's 1963 Martin Classical guitar to learn on (I had no idea the relic I was strumming on) before I got my very own Takamine.

I gravitate towards the color green, always, and I love lattes of any kind. I started writing songs on guitar before I really knew how to play (with influences by the Indigo Girls, Radiohead, Jeff Buckley at the time). I have a little dog named Ella and I adore her. I recorded a demo in college ("Bits and Pieces"), and a year later recorded my first professional CD ("Here and In Between") in Worcester, MA. In late 2004 I packed my bags and drove across the country to San Diego and dove right into the music scene where I met amazing musicians while doing many open mic nights (and released my EP "Hummingbird"). I traded up to my very first Martin guitar which I still play today. I love yoga, hiking, snowboarding and pretty much everything outdoors. In 2007 I made the move to LA and found myself cast in a musical webisode series sponsored by Ford Motors ("Kim & Seana"). Once I returned from my travels I hit the LA scene where I met many more amazing musicians and fell in love with the Hotel Cafe. I used a broken heart as fuel to write songs for my full length release ("Square One") and was a part-time waitress while playing around town and touring. And now in 2012, the new EP, "Five" (my favorite number, dating back to my middle school basketball jersey!) is released.

Music Highlights..."Perfect Kind of Love" was featured on The CW's "One Tree Hill"; the voice of the latest JELL-O jingle; "Little Things," "Blue Skies," "Cheers" and "Letting Go" were featured on MTV's "The Real World"; "Blue Skies" was featured on MTV's "Teen Mom 2"; "Easy On Me" was one of three finalists in the 2010 John Lennon Songwriting Contest (pop category) and semi-finalist in the 2010 International Songwriting Competition; "Trouble" placed in the Top 500 for Billboard's World Song Contest; Voted as Indie In-Tune's Singer/Songwriter of the Year 2007; Awarded Best Female Singer/Songwriter and Best Female Vocalist in the San Diego HAT (Honoring Acoustic Talent) Awards in 2006.
