Bio / Background
I was born in the Philippine Islands and moved to the United States at age 7.We moved to an artist influenced town called Woodstock,New York. With Bearsville Recording Studio in town, many famous musicians came to town and played local clubs and cafe`s. Being around artists and musicians all my life made an influence on me.
I came from a very musical family. My father played piano and had a passion for music. He loved all types of beautiful music. From classical,big bands,latin,Frank Sinatra,Gershwin all types. I sang in choir since age 8. Played guitar since age 10. I studied composition and music theory. One teacher influenced me with Billy Holiday and the Motown sound then R&B.
My sister and I were in a dance company doing native dances from the Philippines. Our mother was our manager. I was only 9 years old and a child performer on television and stage.
At age 15 I saw Bonnie Raitt perform.
↓ more ↓I was very influenced by her blues and the way she played electric guitar and slide. Janis Joplin,Bob Dylan,Fleetwood Mac,Shania Twains'and Heart really influenced me. I played in all types of bands. Many bands were all girl bands. I soloed quite a bit also.
I was a fashion designer for the famed Suzycreamcheese in Las Vegas. Through her I dressed many famous entertainers such as Ann Margaret,Diana Warwick,Shirley Maclaine,Tanya Tucker the Mandrel sisters {when they had their TV show}.
In Oct. 2006 I met guitar player Butch Davis with producer and keyboardist Billy Anderson. These two "magicman"{ as I call them} knew exactly what my songs needed to complete. We had such a blast recording "From the Heart". We used Vintage collectible guitars for different songs on the CD. One of them belonged to Waylon Jennings. Butch was the guitar player for ten years with the country singer Tracy Lawrence. He also played with Stonewall Jackson,Billy Walker,and Razzy Bailey. Billy has been a keyboardist for over 35 years. Billy has also played with Stephen Stills and Papa John Creach. I felt and still feel so honored that these two incredible musicians are on my CD. They helped me record in Nashville,Tn. Only if you have really been in love, will you understand what some of the songs are saying. There are a variety of tempos. Some songs are also about the lessons in life that we all go through.
Nashville reminds me of Woodstock. The people understand the music business and are very willing to help. Such an endless source of talent there!
I guess the best words to describe my music style is , soulful,Classic Rock,Blues with Country roots. From the heart. Electrifying guitar rifts,piano,organ,strings combined with poignant lyrics. Some of us can not express some emotions as easily as a song sometimes can. You can be in the worse mood, play a good song and it changes your frame of mind!
From my heart to yours, God Bless! I hope you enjoy the music.
