about her music:
"I write songs to tell stories of love or to recall my dreams, which are fantastical visions of boats and oceans and waves and dancers and clowns. Some of my songs I wrote for my Commedia del’ Arte dance troupe in Seattle, The Harlequin Hipsters, and a show we did titled "Passion or Death"–in which the world becomes plagued by a disease that kills those who are dispassionate about their lives. I write music to sing about the emotions in my heart and soul, and to connect with people through those feelings".
