I grew up listening to a variety of music and have been singing ever since I was little. I started out at my church, and then sang in choirs at school and performed in shows. In high school I was in every musical, and part of all the choirs there, along with performing in talent shows with bands. I personally had some influences from my grandmother, her favorite was Patsy Cline and Hank Williams. And my other grandma would help me put on little shows when I was a kid. (many thanks to my grandma's) I grew up listening to Garth Brooks, Faith Hill, and Leann Rimes, and Shania Twain. After high school, I continued my musical theatre education at Northern Kentucky University, and performed at local community theaters as well. I graduated with a BFA in Musical Theatre and a minor in radio/television in 2010 and started working at a country music radio station (B105). There my love for country music grew even more, and I realized what I had to do. So I went to a talent agency with a small demo CD I put together and presented it. She later introduced me to a manager who liked my sound and said he thought I had potential. From there we put together a local band to play for me and I went down to Nashville to start the recording process and picking out songs, and recorded my first cd "Sides of Me". I think this cd is a variety of songs that show different sides of who I am, and what I love about country music. I am currently working on getting more gigs lined up, as well as more music for future cd's. It's been a whirl wind getting this all together, but I've loved every minute of it and I can't wait for more!
