Wow- I can't believe it!-still at it-after 15 years! It's amazing what we musicians do
to follow our dream. My passion for music though, runs deeper than getting a
record deal. I love seeing what music does for people.
Theres's lots of name-dropping of impressive music schools and famous venues
that most talented artists list on their bios, I've never been one to be easily
impressed by all that. It was awesome being on the stage at the renowned Bitter
End and Kenny's Castaways in Manhattan, where my mentor Joni Mitchel
performed. The Stone Pony and The Saint near my home town, Asbury Park, N.J.
and being the monthly featured artist at Border's Books was pretty exciting. A
most meaningful show, though was contributing to "The Creation of Eve-Original
Women of Rock" benefit at Harry's Roadhouse in Asbury Park in September of
2003. The show's purpose was to raise funds for the rape care program of
"180-Turning Lives Around," a cause I strongly believe in (coming from a
background of child abuse and domestic violence). It is beautifully humbling to
help people to rebuild their lives through mentoring. I've been blessed
experiencing people from all different population groups, the physically
challenged, hospice patients, the incarcerated, the homeless and battered
women and their kids.
My love for composing complex and haunting jazz and blues-tinged songs
culminated in being invited to several consequtive Clearwater Festivals. My
following grew while playing at Starbuck's in Sea Girt, N.J. for two years and my
favorite moments involved the children who watched me perform. I'm still loyal
though, to The Brighton Bar and the Saint where my first breaks were given.
What kept me grounded all these years is a stong faith in God and a passionate
love for people!
Each gig or performance to me has always been special and different. Not only do
I bring my music to the stage, but my retro, vintaged-attire speaks of my
uniqueness as an artist, fashion designer, photographer and writer. Though my
girlish voice, wacky sense of humor and warm, honest banter delight many, make
no mistake-the limelight is on the One who gave me these gifts. I am trully
blessed and I am compelled to grow in my spiritual and personal self
development.
I learned about music and life in the school of hard knocks, a painfully shy
bi-racial child from humble hardworking European parents. They weren't
musicians at all, but my Spanish papito was a gifted artiist and sign-painter. My
father worked eighty hour weeks and I had no support from anyone. I never fit in,
in school and dreamed about being a fashion designer/rock star while growing
up. Years later, I taught myself guitar after finding myself unable to keeps player
in my band.
I'm finally realizing my dream, Multi-ethnic and multi-talented singer/songwriter,
aka Asbury Park Angel, I cross over genre's with my unconventional chordings,
powerful belting vocals and combining folk with cool combinations of jazz,
funk/blues and Latin elements. The world is a melting pot. Come on and melt with
me!
