Stealing Me Back From You

Inspired by Ella Fitzgerald, Cyndi Lauper and Sinead O'Conner at an early age, the only certainty I ever had in my life is that I needed to sing. Once, on a spring morning, I played Hallelujah on a public piano in the Rome train station, belting out harmonies with strangers while early morning rush hour commuters passed by. Music is a language that can transcend difference, reach across time, touch hearts, transport you to another world - and change everything in an instant. From singing under the moonlight on the Zambezi river in Southern Africa - to performing in the Duomo in Florence - to singing my kids to sleep - music and singing is my first language. Singing brings me closer to myself, to others and the world around me. I am a Canadian singer songwriter that loves building eclectic sounds, playfully mixing a diversity of genres, including Indie, folk, pop, jazz and bluegrass. And I can never resist a karaoke version of any Aretha Franklin tune.
