Her contralto voice is deep, lush and textural. The CD is all her own original material and as a songwriter, it has been said that she is an underground urban journalist with an IQ, tackling subjects such as Plastic Surgery (VANITY) Aliens (GREY MATTER and ALIEN) and the women behind the glass booths (SEX UNDER GLASS)
She looks at life and mirrors it back to you, sometimes tongue-in-cheek, or in a serious way, without judgement. Her voice has been described as an "aggressive Billie Holiday, chased with Shirley Bassey, and has a language unto itself." (L.A. Weekly) She is a professional jazz singer, having spent three years in New York City and twenty years in Los Angeles, where she was a favorite jazz vocalist of the late Gene Roddenberry. She has toured Europe and has several independent record deals, and over a dozen of her original songs have been used in film.
Having recently moved to Houston, she is a regular on Diva Row, at the famed Magnolia Bar, with world-class pianist Paul English. See (www.jazzhouston.com) She is slated to perform in several clubs in Paris this spring.
The Inspiration behind the Songs:
As an urban journalist songwriter, I love sharing my inspiration for these tunes.
HEART OF THE GREY MATTER
This is a song about alien abduction. A look into the world of an "experiencer" and how it feels to know/to get that sensing, that an encounter with a bizarre entity is about to occur. A paradigm-shattering experience. Greys, Reptilians, Men in black...yikes!!!
BETTER WORLD
This song muses about life and relationships, and how they could be so different if we weren't so frantically racing on the treadmill of accomplishment, exhaustion and ego.
ALIEN
This song is about an extraterrestrial that I have communicated with. The middle spoken section is my voice - altered - and the content is an actual, word-for-word transmission from the ET. Talk about the muses talking to you!
VANITY
A sensual bed of music - with a tongue-in-cheek look at the world of plastic surgery...how much is too much...is it Vanity or Insanity? I try to simply pose the question...it is always for you to decide...gorgeous trumpet and flugel
