BIOGRAPHY
I am a singer-songwriter in Dover, NH. I've been singing pretty much as long as I have been able to talk and grew up playing instruments and singing duets with my mom. Although I had been writing and performing my original songs since around 2002, RPM 2011 was my first time recording them. For more info about me check out my website below!
