I grew up in Shiprock NM. A small town with big stories and more heart than it realizes. I grew up in a tiny house...'bout one room sized...haha...but I can honestly say I was loved. I have always loved music as a small child and my voice is probably the product of mimicking Loretta Lynn. *grin* I had a memory like an elephant and I memorized so many songs that I could almost sing EVERY song on the radio. And I wasn't biased...I loved everything...but country was my fave!

I sang to myself in my teens, I used to joke around about becoming Stevie Nicks someday but I didn't really see myself as particularly talented or gifted. I sang because I was bored. I was a total loner and spent many hours in my room writing poems. I didn't write songs back then...I didn't really know how to play an instrument. I had learned some piano in my elementary years but I didn't own a piano. Then, I finally started playing the guitar in '93.

Through the years I took some lessons and had some great friends/teachers and great support that taught me the skills I needed to gain confidence in my talent. Yeah, I found out I had a talent. haha. But I also had to live my life a little...to experience motherhood, marriage, divorce, falling in love, losing, working and so many of life's highs and lows along the way. That is what I write about, heartfelt songs about my life experiences...some songs are sad...some songs are hopeful...and some songs...are just songs. I love my life and all the people who have come and gone in it...life is beautiful...you never know what tomorrow will bring...so never stop dreaming.
