Music
I’ve been writing songs since I was 16 years old (so, a couple of years now)! My hope is that my music makes you feel, whether it’s joy, sadness, inspiration, empathy, melancholy… all emotions are welcome! And if a song makes you cry, then I’ve hit the jackpot.
NEW ALBUM
A WAY WILL BE SHOWN
My latest album, “A Way Will Be Shown” features four songs and a poem that I wrote during one of the most challenging times in my life. Each track features a spoken word introduction with the ‘story behind the song.’ I figured if the lessons I’ve learned along my journey can help someone, then I need to share them.
MOTIV8:
8 SONGS TO ROCK
YOUR OWN WORLD
On my personal development journey, I found that the most effective way to make change is to reinforce what I’ve learned through repetition and practice, even if I’m not doing it right at the beginning (and I definitely did not!). I can think of no better - or more fun - tool to help reinforce a new skill than music.
As you’ll see on the program page, I developed “Motiv8: 8 Ways To ROCK Your Own World,” an interactive workshop to help women better connect to themselves. Then, I wrote a book, with the same title, to expand on the workshop.
But I didn’t stop there. While I was writing the book, I said to myself, ‘Hey, what if I wrote a companion album with an original song for each of the 8 chapters?’ And “Motiv8: 8 Songs To ROCK Your Own World” was born!
Listen to the album, read the book and come to a workshop and you’ll be well on your way to rocking your own world!
DITTYDOODLE WORKS
PUBLIC TELEVISION PRE-SCHOOL SERIES
In addition to my passion for helping women, I’m also invested in educating kids about important life skills - things like honesty, cooperation, accountability, self-control, gratitude - you know, the things that us adults still need to get better at.
Growing up, I was influenced by several shows including Sesame Street and Mr. Rogers Neighborhood. They did a great job of incorporating music to reinforce lessons.
A few years ago, I had the privilege of co-creating “Dittydoodle Works,” a NY-Emmy nominated Public Television series that teaches life skills to pre-schoolers through music and humor. It was one of the most incredible experiences of my career. I wrote or co-wrote over 175 songs and got to work with luminaries such as Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony award-winning composer, Marvin Hamlish as well as the incredible Chaka Khan who played “Mother Nature” on the show and recorded one of my songs!
Check out the music and some videos from the show! If you’re a forever student like I am, who knows…you might learn something new!
