Who (We) Are
Born into Melodies
Egg
My pregnant mother would dance and sing
while I was in utero.
I came out with a keen attention for music,
and notably started dancing to the beat
sooner than I could stand.
​
The arts were heavily encouraged,
and performing was second nature
to just about each and every one
of us 8 children.
​
Mother wanted a Shirley Temple,
and even though I never pursued tap dancing,
I believe much of my inspiration comes from this
multi-talented performer that really captured
the heart of nations.
Raised to Play
Larva
Life is a stage, and most of the costumes are home-made.
Renaissance fairs & road shows
inspired a flare
for real-life theatrics that have since
come into play during live productions.
​
While the aesthetic has modernized, exaggerated motions and contorted facial features are still summoned during my more spirited performances.

The lips, the teeth, the tip of the tongue.
Annunciate, articulate, exaggerate"

Learning to Fly
The Royal Jelly
Singing since my slither through the mortal canal,
teenage years were spent learning an instrument, thusly opening the door of open mics, recitals, talent shows, and backyard jams.
​
Many songs in my current repertoire were created during these intense emotional segments of life when music was the safest outlet for my angst.
​
"Going to Hell" is from my 17 year old form, questioning beliefs in God and all else,
against the caution of many
loving church members.
​
I no longer succumb to that tide of emotion,
but I remember and honor that era
by presenting the tragedy
with bonafide conviction.
Departing the Hive
Pupa
So crossed I into the realm of adult,
where talents now need to either
pay the bills
or be put aside.
​
I pursued nursing for 5 years and checked
all the boxes I had set out to achieve:
financial stability, scheduled predictability, sustainable habits, honorable credits -
so why did it feel like I was going the wrong way?
​
I took a leap of faith:
out of medical and into music,
a community that has encouraged me
to pursue my passion,
so here it is:
​
My dream is to create an experience
that transports you into the heart
of an ever growing story....
​
Forming Anew
I look to forge artistic unions across the nation that benefit we drones with the fruits of our labor: honey
​
​
I invite you to participate with me in the current renaissance, where we write & perform plays, paint landscapes, and juggle fire
(among the other endless forms of talent).
