About Me

A passionate musician in motion

I started playing the piano at an early age with a renowned Bay Area pianist.  I’m classically trained in both piano and voice. I completed advanced levels of Certificate of Merit in piano and landed roles in musical theater productions throughout high school. Initially a classically trained in opera singer, I’m a versatile singer-song writer in jazz, blues, R&B, pop, and soul. 

I was selected to sing at the Big Talent Showcase in Vegas summer of 2015 where I was recognized by A list producers, agents, and record companies including Virgin, Universal, and Indasoul Records.  After many competing rounds, I placed as a finalist amongst numerous performers in the showcase.  This year, I recently released a new single called Unmovable which you can download, purchase, and/or stream. In 2017, I released my debut album of  original songs.  Singer/songwriter,  I’m a well sought soloist and lead singer at various venues including weddings, private parties, and restaurant lounges.  Performing as the lead singer of a Jazz band called Six on Sundays, we released their first demo CD Album in 2013.  I’ve been a regular featured singer as Jazz La Em, Angelica’s in Redwood City, and Rokko Fine Cuisine in Sunnyvale, and various local churches. Please check out my calendar of events for more updated shows.

As a Music Educational Specialist with an emphasis in working with special needs children, I taught piano, voice, and Early Music Awareness classes at the Music Place in San Jose for three years while running my own private music studio. I also taught music classes at Carden Day School in Campbell and Kwan School of Music in San Jose for several years. Combining all the students, I have taught over 500+ students. I’m happily continuing to run my own private studio from home and sing professionally locally and abroad with a 5 star Yelp rating.
