About Us
As a kid, I spent countless hours underneath my mom's baby grand piano, listening to her teach or participating in her Saturday music theory classes.Â
With piano lessons starting at four years old, all the school choirs, and a scholarship for vocal performance at the University of Utah— I was destined for music.
Truth be told, though, my heart wasn't in it as a classical singer. I wanted to sing contemporary music!
And that's what I did. When I got an opportunity to move to Los Angeles, I took it and pursued a career as an actress and singer-songwriter.
 Â
Some people recognize me as the Kindle girl from those whimsical, stop-motion Amazon commercials from 2010.Â
I starred in, co-wrote, and recorded the songs for a worldwide campaign that launched the Amazon Kindle.
That experience changed my life! It led to a co-publishing deal as a songwriter, a full-length album, two EPs, and many more songs licensed for film, TV, and commercials. I also appeared in dozens of national commercials, hit TV shows, and films, including the Academy Award-winning 'Argo' directed by Ben Affleck.
But it wasn't always easy. Despite the success, I struggled with my voice.Â
Real Talk
I spent years practicing random warmups and vocal exercises that were not specific to my needs; I felt limited by my voice even when working on big Hollywood projects. Some days it worked, and some days it just didn't.
But I didn't give up.
Many years later, I'm a certified IVA Instructor III, learning the most cutting-edge vocal pedagogy in the world at The Institute for Vocal Advancement. I'm more confident with my voice than ever and can sing freely across genres. Being obsessed with all things voice- and mindset-related, not much gives me more joy than helping you unlimit your voice and inner artist, too.Â
Specialties include voice and audition coaching for aspiring and professional singers, songwriters, actors, and professional speakers. Also, cross-training for classically trained singers wanting to sing contemporary styles, and retraining for the aging or neglected voice.

As a professional songwriter for more than 20 years, I’ve written, co-written, and produced hundreds of songs. I’ve recorded everywhere, from noisy apartments to world-class studios, including Prince’s Paisley Park in Minneapolis and Ocean Way in Los Angeles. Since 2014, I’ve been signed to a songwriting and co-publishing deal with Concord Music, home to Pink Floyd, Daft Punk, Phil Collins, Imagine Dragons, The 1975, Mark Ronson, Billie Holiday, and many others. I’ve had record deals with Razor & Tie (Universal) and Metro Records (Warner Music) and been sponsored by Gibson Guitars. My music is administered by Concord and Universal Music Group. It has been featured in Rolling Stone, Entertainment Weekly, and on the homepages of Apple Music, Amazon, and Guitar World among others.
Working alongside Grammy-winning songwriters and producers, I've not only honed my craft but charted on the Billboard Hot 100 and licensed dozens of songs to commercials, TV shows, and films. I firmly believe that a great song speaks for itself, no matter the style or genre of music. I can’t wait to share what I’ve learned so you can skip years of trial and error and create your best music yet!
