Introduction: As a vocalist, I provide a fun, light-hearted show with comedic commentary and a variety of songs. I can do a one-woman show to recorded accompaniment or bring a few friends and a live pianist, depending on your budget and desires. My repertoire includes Broadway show tunes, comedic songs, arias and art songs, and jazz standards. I can provide a sound system for myself or use yours.
I am professional, communicative, and easy to work with. I will respond to your messages, arrive early, provide the services I agreed to in our discussions, and clean up after myself. I am fully vaccinated, double boosted, and recently recovered from COVID, and I am happy to follow your COVID protocols.
I have been performing in the Sacramento area for decades, first as a ballroom dancer and now as a vocalist and actress. I am equally comfortable in a cabaret setting or on stage in a musical or opera, making people laugh in a comedic role or performing a tragic aria.
I feel as though I have been an entertainer since birth, and now I can put my propensity for being the center of attention to good use. Take that, Mrs. Brown from second grade!
I graduated summa cum laude with a BA in music from California State University, Sacramento, with a concentration in voice and a minor in Italian. I have studied with Carrie Hennessey, Omari Tau, Robin Fisher, and Claudia Kitka. I am a member of Music Teachers' Association of California, where I chair the Spring Fling & Composers Today Recital.
Note: I have been on Thumbtack for many years, first as a ballroom dance instructor, then as a piano and voice teacher. While I am now focusing on performing, I am still available for occasional lessons.
