On a full scholarship from Pepperdine University, in Malibu, CA, I was able to pursue music in Los Angeles. I acquired my B.A. in Vocal Performance and started writing songs for Film & TV and performing all over on The Strip. I've had LA radio features and was on "Rockstar", where I was a LA finalist. My tunes have been on CBS, MTV, Oprah, Top Chef and many others but my claim to fame is having my song, "If I Could Fly" as "you're-going-through-to-the-next-round" on The X-Factor. I look forward to doing music with you!
