as a twelve year old, received early recognition as a accomplished composer when she was
awarded third place in "The Yamaha National Song Writing Contest". Originally from
Winnipeg, musical studies brought her to Toronto which has since become home. She has
performed with a variety of recording and touring acts encompassing many genres of music.
