Playing alongside artists such as Artelia Green and the Bandanas, Be Steadwell, Déja Bryson, Jay Marie is Holy, and countless others, she has developed a style that blends elements of jazz, R&B, funk, and acoustic soul.

Mostly self-taught over the last 15 years, she’s been honing her craft as a performer on stages of all sizes - from backyard shows and DIY spaces to Bay Area staples like Freight & Salvage, Yoshi’s, and The Independent. When not playing or writing music she loves teaching guitar and piano to the next generation of music makers.
