As a singer/songwriter, I am inspired by just about everything; relationships with friends, family, teachers and mentors... challenges, victories and failures... even those little pockets of time that are full of laughter and bliss that seem to add more days and smiles to my life. Realizing how important music was to me as a child and in my young adult years, I set out to  provide music education and specialize in solo and group performances over 30 years ago. Whether I am teaching, performing, or creating new music, I strive to bring a unique and engaging experience to everyone that I work with. My mission is to create positive memories for those that I meet, using music as a platform.

Founded in 2008 as Midwest Association For Independent Artists, my goal was to offer private affordable music lessons in the Milwaukee Metropolitan Area. I've worked with organizations, schools, aspiring musicians and artists of all ages and backgrounds.  Currently, I specialize in providing music education and performance services, including public speaking, solo and group performances. My band, Shuga Blu, was formed in 2019 and we pride ourselves on making magic happen where ever we go!
