Details:
A unique voice and style difficult to define but with a definite Canadiana feel. Unusual for a songwriter, she didn't actually pick up an instrument, sing or start writing until well into her twenties. Early exposure to her parents love of Johnny Cash and Loretta Lynn, her own Elvis Presley records and her brother's massive rock album collection influenced her musical style. Add to that her vagabond independant spirit, a love of the open road and her natural and keen ability to observe human nature. Raw and natural talent, her lyrics create visual imagery as vast as a prairie sky. With a disarmingly candid and honest style, you can't help but be drawn in by her music.
Her early musical exposure was met with some success with a song included on Ottawa's Rasputin's Folk Cafe CD Compilation in 1999. She also recorded an EP at that time while living up in Yellowknife, NWT landing her a licensing offer for one of her songs,which reflective of her independant nature, she declined. Career and other creative interests took over for some time and after a 6 year hiatus from music, she's emerged with new material for a long awaited debut album titled "Gypsy As I Go".
