music
the discovery
I struggled with panic attacks for about a decade after my Dad passed. But I did not allow the shackles of sorrow and a lack of formal musical education hold me back from my newfound artistic pursuit. I summoned the powers of discipline, optimism & passion. It was never easy but I was unstoppable. Consequently, with an acceptable demo and an amazing manager at the time, I struck good fortune by landing a record deal with a major label, Sony BMG Music.
Believe that you too can reach your goals no matter what!

broadening of horizons
as I continue to evolve in music, the honor of working alongside Sony BMG Music brought me to perform in exotic lands from Thailand to Hong Kong, Jakarta, the Philippines, to Guam. Then, I ventured off to the House of Blues and Whisky a Go Go in Los Angeles California.
the legend
as my deep sultry vocals develop, I was recruited to open for John Legend in 2008 during his album launch "Unplugged", and performed alongside Thailand's favorite new artist at the time, Tor+. He was fascinating and a gentleman. Followed by my guest performance with the Vienna Operetta Orchestra, for the Ambassador of Austria, and Imelda Marcos among others. Moreso, I was a finalist in a Radio Music Awards, nominated as Best New Artist, held a #1 single “Breakout” on an international FM radio station in Southeast Asia competed amongst the likes of Mariah Carey and Chris Brown.

synergise
​
after years of hiatus, shortly after my return in Spring 2023 I was invited to perform in the World Art Day Celebration by Artist for a Better World in Hollywood California and was accompanied by an award-winning multi-instrumentalist and former Music Ambassador to the United Nations, Crispin Barrymore.

here's to you Dad
​
grew up shy and soft-spoken (still is) singing was never an endeavor. I wouldn't dare! I wanted to become a psychologist or a neuroscientist. After serving in the military, my Father focused on his music. He was an autodidact multi-instrumentalist, composer and a singer with a golden voice. His love of music exposed my little self wearing a china doll hair style to soft rock, soul and folk music. He attempted to groom me to sing and play the guitar to no avail. My shyness and strong will prevailed! Whew.

a legacy music had no meaning to me during those rough formative years in my life. The thought of speaking to an audience terrefies me. Let alone sing!
A decade after my father's demise to suicide followed by my granmother's passing from "heart-break" nine months later, was when the meaning of music truly came to me... perhaps a sense of obligation, a purpose, a Legacy waiting to be realized.
