What inspires you?
I am inspired by my friends and family and by my daily life. I am also inspired by good music and films.
What would you be doing if your were not a musician?
I have no idea what I'd be doing. Performing and creative outlets have always been what inspire me.
How did your environment shape you?
I definitely think that being brought up in Vancouver by a very liberal and supportive family has shaped whom I am. My family was also very musical and I think that played a big part in me going into music.
What do you want to be remembered for?
I would love to be remembered for my music. I would also love to be remembered for being a good person that truly cared about their friends and family.
Who is your hero?
I would definitely have to say my parents because they were so great and supportive of me even when I wasn't of them. Plus they are truly still in love and I love that.
Education
I attended a musical theatre school called SDA through out my childhood. I have 5 years of classical training in both piano and violin. I also trained at VYT acting school in Vancouver. I have been vocally training for over 15 years, and I continue to take one on one acting sessions to improve my acting craft.
What makes you tick?
Great music and great movies. Anything that moves me. I love anything that’s dramatic.
What makes you happy?
What makes me happy??? Well allot of things do. Music, family, friends, performing, good food and shopping :)
Tell me something about you that no one knows?
I never learned how to ride a bike
What social cause is most important to you?
I am most impassioned towards children in need - helping sick kids and giving time to organizations that provide children with equal opportunities.
If you could change something what would it be?
Wow!! I'd love to change a couple of things. For starters help prevent global warming, and improve the state of the music industry.
Traveling the world in the last year has opened my eyes to the inequalities that are all around me and this year especially I have found myself drawn to help those less fortunate then myself. I think that anyone in the public eye is a role model and if I can use that in anyway to shed some light on issues that matter to be then I'll be a little happier.
