Current Location: |
Los Angeles, CA, and on tour all over the world with Tisto. (very little time in NY or LA!) |
| Career Highlight: | Performing onEngland's "Top Of The Pops" TV show with Beyonce and Maroon 5. "TOP" was the premier music show in the UK for many years. If you made it on that show you’re a star! Its now off the air, but was for a time the top Hit Music program in all of Europe. It was like being on Dick Clarks hit show. |
| Greatest Life Accomplishment: | Finishing and releasing my first solo album. |
| How I got involved: | I realized at a young age that singing was my passion. While enrolled in art school, my range and unique vocal style was discovered. After I graduated, I performed the song “Star Children” with my group Guardians of the Earth which appeared alongside U2 and many others on the highly acclaimed Politics of Dancing compilation. Then I recorded a hit with DJ duo Gabriel & Dresden and formed the group Motorcycle. “As The Rush Comes” was the debut single and won 2 Billboard Dance Awards in 2004 for best dance track and best new dance artist. |
| Inspiration: | Besides promoting my new album, “Disconnect”, I am also writing new material and starting up some collaborations with producers. A lot of great things are on their way, so I will be busy in the next few months. I am really looking forward to meeting a lot of new people. That is the great part about my job as a singer/songwriter: meeting people, getting a lot of new influences and really enjoying myself. I am up for it! |
| Cause Related/Green Planet Efforts: | I'm a vegetarian, live simple and healthy lifestyle. Try to reduce my personal carbon emissions, ride a bicycle when I can and always recycle. |
