I've wanted to be a professional singer ever since the first time I saw The Little Mermaid, which was when I was in kindergarten.� Since then, I've practiced with my voice religiously, trying to make it as clear and beautiful as possible.� I've only taken about 5 vocal lessons all my life, but only quit because the instructors were only telling me what they thought I wanted to hear.� I wasn't about to pay them every week to tell me that I was good, I needed constructive criticism and new techniques to practice.� Anyway, when I started high school I began to idolize artists less for their singing ability and more for their writing.� I'd always loved writing and decided to try it out.� I was really bad at it in the beginning, but I've been writing for 7 years now and have become quite good, if I do say so myself :) I now have a simple home recording studio and lots of songs that haven't been recorded yet.� The ones that have been recorded and are available for your listening pleasure are still just rough mixes of my favorite ballads I've written.
