A native Texan, I reside in the San Francisco Bay area. I've been performing regularly throughout the San Francisco Bay area, including some West Coast and Central U.S. appearances. In addition to live jazz and cabaret performance, my career has evolved to professional recording. I am a voting member of The Recording Academy, San Francisco Chapter (formerly known as The Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences).

I frequented open-mic clubs and sang my way around town. Those were the days! The recession of the late 80's kicked in and I had to get a real job with a steady paycheck and benefits. It gave me time to improved upon my musical and business skills.
BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD
Something had to change and it had to be me. While being a corporate puppet, I took some years off from singing to study dance and acting, as well as some great female vocalists and performers of the 30's, 40's, 50's and early 60's. Some of these pioneers are Mil
