Singer songwriter based in Phoenix, AZ, I've been playing professionally for 4 years. I blend blues, jazz, and rock together to bring a sultry yet powerful sound to performances. My style ranges from Etta James, to Jack Johnson, and Amy Winehouse. I have 3 hours of material, 80% covers and the rest original. My original songs are about loving yourself, following your path, and enjoying it all along the way.
I provide my own equipment for a professional and polished performance.
Let me know if you're looking for more or have any questions!

I perform strictly with a guitar and mic, so it's pretty much an acoustic show, but not all my songs are slow and melancholy (although I do love those). I adjust my sound to the venue. Wine bars I tend to do more bluesy sultry music, with pops of light hearted contemporary songs, and I keep it ambient, but I will engage the audience before breaks, just to let them know who I am, to thank the staff, and to thank the venue for inviting me, and also to thank everyone for supporting the venue. Cafes I'll do more alt. rock/ indie type music, but I tend to keep it even lower than the wine bars because many people are studying or are there to relax. Bars I LOVE because I get to sing as loud as I want, and people love it. Chopper John's is one of my favorite places to play for that reason.
I'm pretty independent so I bring my own gear to the venue, and can rent a full PA system if needed, so I can make sure I give my audience the best sound possible.
I began pursuing music professionally over 5 years ago, after taking voice lessons and improving my sound and confidence. I had always wanted to be a musician and singer, and played guitar for 13 years, but wasn't brave enough to make it a legitimate pursuit. After playing open mics, I began booking venues and small events and went full-time musician almost a year ago. It's been the best, most rewarding journey of my life.
I bring my own gear, but I'm limited to entertaining 100 people. PA systems and a monitor will either have to be included or added in to cost for rental fees.

Really I just need a space to play and at least 2 outlets to plug in to for under 100 people. Anymore, I need a full PA system monitor included. If not available, will be included in the performance fee to cover rental fees.
