I am a performer with 28 years professionally singing. I have my Music Arts diploma as a vocal major. My first studio recording was a full album project titled Reatta in 1999. I have since been performing live and offering my vocals to many local artist's recording projects. I had a single released while in NSCC Music Arts, titled 'We'll Be together Again", with the band Erin O'Brien and Suite 115. The single aired on radio stations across Canada and the US in 2022. I am interested in collaborating with others for shows across Cape Breton. Keep me in mind and reach out anytime!
Music Day In Canada is returning on Saturday, September 27, bringing communities together from coast to coast to celebrate Canadian music and the artists who create it.
