"GREAT THINGS NEVER CAME FROM COMFORT ZONES!"

​I'm not sure where this quote originated, but it certainly has been my experience.  

If you have been following my journey over the last three years, then you know how I have been constantly challenged in this new venture of becoming a recording artist to take… not baby steps… but GIANT steps, OUT OF MY COMFORT ZONE!

Every time I take those somewhat painful and scary steps, something good comes from it and another door of opportunity opens!  It's by no means perfect and I wouldn’t say it necessarily gets easier, but it gets more believable!

Many times I get overwhelmed with all that seems unfinished and how much I will always need to learn. I rarely sit back and appreciate how far I’ve come! A friend suggested I write down my accomplishments last year.  She said it might surprise and encourage me.  What a great idea! 

Taking inventory helped me see clearly the great things God has done in my life and also that hard work does pay off!  In addition to releasing FIVE NEW SINGLES and TWO NEW MUSIC VIDEOS, I worked harder than ever behind the scenes on the business side, while still working full time to help support this crazy habit!  Results?

LAST YEAR

• ​Spotify listeners grew from 23,000 to 148,000 - 79 countries.
• Pandora listeners grew from 1,200 to 92,000 
• My music was featured on more than 15 radio programs.  
• And because of my wonderful friends and supporters, I was awarded “Songwriter of the Year” by Miller Piano Specialists!

"So, what's next?"

​“So what’s next?”, people ask.  Creating more music is what I want to really focus on next year.  I’m not entirely sure what it will all look like at this point, but whatever the next step, I think it will be good because you can be sure it will be out of my comfort zone!!!  Join me!
