You may be wondering why I don't have a fan club, sell autographed photos of myself, have parties at my house, or do any of the countless things other local entertainers do to promote themselves in the music business. Well, truth is, I've always been uncomfortable with the idea of thinking of myself as some kind of star. I don't seek fame or fortune doing this. And I'd never charge residents of a senior care center for copies of my CD's or for pictures of me.
I use music to help others and to
make them feel better. It also makes me feel good
having found my niche and where I fit in my community. I guess that's why I went to
college after high school and became a Music Therapist,
instead of asking my family to help promote me as a pop singer in
L.A. or Nashville. I took a route in the music
industry that I was comfortable with, focusing my energy
into getting a Bachelor's Degree in Music Therapy from
Michigan State University and developing my work as a
board-certified self employed traveling Music Therapist.
I work just about every day for senior care centers,
rehabilitation centers, and hospitals in and around the
Indianapolis area and on weekends and evenings DJ'ing
weddings, private parties, and working for restaurants in
Indy and out of town. |

"I use my God given talents to help others and make them feel better, and in so doing make myself feel pretty good too. I thank God every day for the gifts he has given me and the health to perform as often as I do." |
