Reconnecting to my creative roots. I am looking to join a new or established group as a vocalist. I lean 90s grunge but 70s through 90s rock and some pop is in my wheelhouse. No country. Open to gigs in NJ, NYC, & Philly.
My voice roughly covers the tenor and alto ranges and I can sing conventionally female and male parts. I do not alter the gender when referenced in others’ lyrics.
I played the violin for 7 years and flirted with musical theatre as a youngster. I began taking drum lessons in Sept. 2023 and I intend to continue for as long as I am physically able but for now I am seeking to perform as a singer.

Influences
I especially love powerful, emotional, expressive music. I enjoy grunge/alternative, soul, and blues and I am intimately familiar with classic rock tunes. I also adore Golden Age hip hop but I don’t rap in that sense. Love the Beatles.
