I was born and raised in the suburbs of Chicago and still make it my hometown today. It wasn't until high school that I started to become really passionate about music. Music started to touch my heart like nothing ever had before. It became very emotional to me. I went to every concert, watched MTV everyday, and drove around town with the radio turned up as high as it could go. One day my coworker told me her boyfriend was looking for a singer in his rock band and that I should try out. So I did. I made his band and my life changed forever.

I soon realized that I loved to write songs and in 2009 I packed my bags and spent the next six months at Dark Horse Recording Studio in Nashville.I finished my debut solo CD and called it DESTINATION OUT OF HERE.

DESTINATION OUT OF HERE charted three national radio singles including a Top Ten song. The single "With Just One Kiss" made it all the way to number 10 and sent me on an American radio tour. So many amazing opportunities happened including being on ABC News, written about in various articles, and meeting so many great fans of mine. It truly is something I will never forget.

That leads me to right now. I've spent the last couple years writing new songs. Sometimes they come fast and sometimes they take a while. Some I've kept and some I've thrown out. But I truly, truly believe that the best of me is yet to come.
