A few words on the woman I've become. As of now.


Music has not been the only thing I've done in this life. 
It is not the only thing I love. 

But it is the one thing, 
the ever capable thing,
that has saved me, 
that keeps saving me,
from myself above all,
again, and again, and again.  

"If I hold any kind of spirituality, 
it has to do with music" 

-Sting

I owe just about everything I am to music. 

I know fairly little about it.
I will not, by any stretch, at any time, claim to understand it. 
And if I am worth any of my pretty words, 
I will live a life devoted to it. 

My second album,"Silti" (Even though) 
was recorded in Nashville, Tennessee
in October of 2018 and shall be released later in 2019.
