I was born and raised in the lovely little town of Holden, Massachusetts and now reside in (almost always) sunny Los Angeles. I've been singing since I can remember but discovered my voice in high school (chorus, musicals, glee club) and when in college (Fairfield University) decided I was long overdue to play an instrument and that's when I fell in love with those six strings. Luckily I had my mom's 1963 Martin Classical guitar to learn on (I had no idea the relic I was strumming on) before I got my very own Takamine.
I gravitate towards the color green, always, and I love lattes of any kind. I started writing songs on guitar before I really knew how to play (with influences by the Indigo Girls, Radiohead, Jeff Buckley at the time). I have a little dog named Ella and I adore her. I recorded a demo in college ("Bits and Pieces"), and a year later recorded my first professional CD ("Here and In Between") in Worcester, MA. In late 2004 I packed my bags and drove across the country to San Diego and dove right into the music scene where I met amazing musicians while doing many open mic nights (and released my EP "Hummingbird"). I traded up to my very first Martin guitar which I still play today. I love yoga, hiking, snowboarding and pretty much everything outdoors. In 2007 I made the move to LA and found myself cast in a musical webisode series sponsored by Ford Motors ("Kim & Seana"). Once I returned from my travels I hit the LA scene where I met many more amazing musicians and fell in love with the Hotel Cafe. I used a broken heart as fuel to write songs for my full length release ("Square One") and was a part-time waitress while playing around town and touring. And now in 2012, the new EP, "Five" (my favorite number, dating back to my middle school basketball jersey!) is released.
