I’ve been asked more than a handful of times when I started singing- and it’s a hard thing to pin down, so I’ll just say there isn’t a time in my life when I wasn’t singing. I first started training my voice when I was 12 years old with classical training techniques. I continued that route, but my confidence lacked in my teenage years so I was unable to successfully try out for any choirs, or productions in my youth. It was in my late teens when I found a vocal coach based on speech-level singing. This technique offered a variety of vocal styling that offered me more confidence, and more of an ability to express the emotion I felt in the song, rather than the form focus of classical vocal refinement. From there the stage became my happy place. I was able to get into the vocal program at Utah State University, started performing around the valley, and released a number of singles and 2 albums. I am currently lead singer in the band The Dustbowl Collective, and we enjoy performing at venues along the Wasatch Front, and Southern Utah.

I believe in having a good mixture of both Classical and Pop vocal techniques. I want to teach you how to vocalize in a way that gives you confidence and helps you express what you have to say in the way you want to express it. I’m thrilled to be a part of Mountain Music Academy and I look forward to helping you reach your vocal goals.
