I am exploring new venues as a performing artist in the Seattle, both as a soloist and with my newly formed band, Siren Song. After completing my Bachelor of Music Degree at Cornish College of the Arts in 2002, I traveled to Ireland and Scotland seeking opportunities in all avenues of vocal performance, but especially with traditional folk music. I am currently undergoing a few recording projects of original music, and Celtic/ Irish traditional music with my band.
