When The Wind Blows Through

I started singing at age five.  I used to sing "I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry" while my Dad played harmonica.  When I was eight, I sang "Strawberry Fields" at a family get-together.  This was the very first time I remember singing in front of an audience.

I have been fortunate to have a very supportive family that has always encouraged me to explore my singing talents.  My sister, Janel used to hold my hand and sing me to sleep at night.  It left such an impression on me that I was inspired to sing more myself.  My Mom and Dad have always encourage me to keep singing and explore my God-given talent.  When I was younger I loved listening to bands like "Heart" and "Supertramp".  They were definitely vocal influences to me.  Artists Dolly Parton and Patsy Cline are also inspirational country vocalists.  My pastor, Mike Sydow, was also very encouraging.  He motivated me to get involved in singing activities including church choir and musicals.  During high school my choir teacher, Hal Heath, also supported my singing talents by involving me in many vocal groups.  While attending Immanuel Lutheran College I was also in concert choir, tour choir, and musicals.  While attending Marian College I was involved in choir, vocal jazz, and Sabre show.

I plan to continue performing in front of a live audience.  I went to Nashville, Tennessee on October 27^th, 2009 to cut my first single on Jandar Records:  "When the Wind Blows Through".  I am currently selecting songs for my first full album.  I have also written some of my own music and lyrics.  I plan to someday include these songs and lyrics on an upcoming album.
