I grew up immersed in the sounds of the ’60s, falling in love with artists like The Monkees, America, and playful classics such as “The Monster Mash.” By the time the ’80s rolled around, that love had only deepened—The Pretenders, the Go-Go’s, ABBA, and Devo all left their mark on my musical imagination.

Though I never expected to create music, my artistic voice emerged slowly, formed over decades of listening and a lifetime woven with pain and joy.

My childhood was spent among farm animals and countless dogs I cared for every day. In my early adult life, it wasn’t just music that inspired me—it was also dogs. I built a business centered on caring for them, and for 25 years I poured my heart and soul into the lives entrusted to me. Now, I’m taking a piece of that same heart, soul, and time and blending my love of dogs with my love of music.

Some of my greatest inspirations have been my Dalmatians—Rennie Mae, Truly, and Chad. Chad became my logo: a recent rescue with many health challenges. We were only given eight months together, but those months were deeply impactful, just like the time I shared with the others.

I never planned on becoming a music-maker, but now I'm creating songs inspired by the eras that raised me, transforming nostalgia into a voice all my own. I hope you'll take a moment to listen, and enjoy!
