My Journey in Song
From the earliest memories, singing has been my passion. Yet, as a child, I couldn't recall if I stayed perfectly in tune. The challenge of coordinating my voice only intensified after puberty struck. It wasn't until 2004 that I finally took the leap into formal voice lessons.
Post-lessons, I found myself trapped in the belief that classical singing was the pinnacle, the only "correct" way to sing. As a result, regardless of the song, I inevitably sounded like a classical vocalist. The boundaries of stylistic exploration seemed impenetrable until 2013.
Thanks to the support of incredible friends, I discovered the liberating truth: switching styles was not only possible but immensely rewarding. Today, I stand poised to shatter the myths surrounding singing, empowering others to explore and embrace the vast spectrum of vocal expression.
EDUCATION
Formal Music Education: With 20 years of formal private music instruction under my belt, spanning 15 years in voice, 6 years in violin, 3 years in piano, and 2 years in music theory, my journey into the world of music began early and with unwavering dedication.
Academic Background: My pursuit of musical excellence led me to the prestigious Las Vegas Academy of the Arts, where I honed my skills in both choir and orchestra. Building upon this foundation, I furthered my education at UNLV, graduating with a degree in music.
Performance Experience: As a soloist, my musical journey has seen me take the stage since 1999, showcasing my talent for over 7 years in violin and more than two decades in voice.
Commitment to Growth: In my quest to continuously refine my craft, I stay abreast of the latest advancements in vocal pedagogy. Today's technological advancements offer us invaluable tools for understanding the intricacies of the voice. However, I firmly believe that true artistry transcends mere technical proficiency – it's about channeling passion and emotion into every note, creating a truly unforgettable experience for both performer and audience alike.
The goal of the visionary vocalist is to ever question current and traditional beliefs of vocal pedagogy to help expand the knowledge of singers worldwide while helping future generations grow quickly, efficiently, and with maturity.
