Hi Everyone!

Normally someone from my PR team would be writing a much better biography than this, but since I want to talk directly to all of you lovely people, I will write something about who I am and what I am doing, all by myself. Here goes nothing!

If you don’t already know, I am attempting to become the first fully independent female artist to go to Number 1, so every song, music video or article you see about me and the music comes directly from my little record label called *Pineapple Recordings LLC.

I started playing music when I was 15 by way of stealing my dads guitars and hiding in the closet because I was the sporty tomboy, and my sister has a voice like Amy Winehouse. When I was 16 I was “discovered” as they say, and flown out to LA, taken to fancy dinners, rubbed shoulders with the who’s who of Hollywood, often stayed in fancy hotels with room service and no parents. For a little while it was the dream. However, from every dream we must wake up, and I ended up bouncing back and forth for two years between meetings that went nowhere, writing sessions, studio sessions, artist development deals etc. etc. etc. and although everyone including my family from my small town back home thought I was the next big thing, the truth is I was failing. Nobody wanted me, partly because I didn’t want to conform to become the next “_____”, and partly because I was 16, I hadn’t really lived yet and had nothing good to write about…yet.

Fast forward a few years….

Somewhere around 17 or 18 years old, I had enough with Hollwood and I decided to run away (didn’t exactly tell mom and dad, manager or anyone in fact), and travel the world. I even ditched my cell phone several times. Along the way I’d try to secretly figure out the inner workings of who I was and what I wanted to be, as well as this whole music industry thing. I figured it can’t be all about gatekeeping, nor as scary as it seemed as a teen. I decided to write an album I could be proud of. After a few years, I actually started to figure some things out, wrote some decent songs, created a new type of record label that gives back to communities around the world, and came out of hiding to record my debut album “The Truth” with Steve and Alex, which is coming Feb. 24th, 2024 at midnight. (Classic Plug)

The journey to get here was not easy, and I made plenty of mistakes, but coming out the other side, I can’t wait to show you what we are doing. Big things are coming. Thanks for sticking around.

All my love and gratitude, forever.

*Why Pineapple Recordings? I happen to be deathly allergic to pineapple, and I thought it was an ironic sort of funny.
