“She has….a soaring voice that she sometimes modulates carefully, other times she’ll cut loose with a full-throttle, practically operatic wail. Her arrangements for strings and winds are clever and emphatic” - New York Music Daily.
She has twice performed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and has been featured singing on camera in both The Anchorite and Sweetwater starring Ed Harris and January Jones. She led a five-piece orchestral pop band in New York, performing around the city and at Roosevelt Island as part of the summer solstice Make Music Festival and the CMJ Music Marathon.She is a session vocalist, an avid opera fan and is also an amateur chef specializing in gluten-free baked goods that actually taste….good.
