BIOGRAPHY

 

My interest in music started at an early age with guitar and singing, mostly to amuse myself and those who would listen. Since then my love for music and the performing arts has grown and I have had the pleasure of playing in a diverse array of venues including concert halls, festivals, museums, libraries, coroprate functions, cafes and community events. Over the past 8 years I have developed my repetoire for voice, guitar and other aspects of music and performance. My voice teacher Milagro Vargas was instrumental in my development as a vocalist. She demanded that I establish a high level of self discipline which I believe is crucial to any artists' growth. I also learned a tremendous amount from Almiro Aquilino Master Instructor of Capoeira Regional. Mestre Almiro taught me a great deal about Afro-Brazilian traditions, and the system of Capoeira Regional. In short, I Iearned to be patient and perservere, the art of listening and above all, I developed deep feelings of respect for the gifts of life. I could go on, but if you want to know more you must listen to my songs, and I promise they will illuminate stories of my past, dreams of the future and visions of hope.
