I remember rushing into the
store in early 2002 and buying Jennifer Knapp's cd titled, "The Way I Am." Eagerly opening the wrapping and carefully placing
the cd into my cd player, I listened to it on repeat for hours while in the car. The notes she played planted a seed
in me and I began dreaming singing and playing songs as real as she did. I wanted to write and sing words that were full
of meaning, value, hope, and freedom. Although Jennifer Knapp has been absent from the music scene a few years, she still
lives on through all the girls she has inspired to pick up a guitar and learn to express themselves through music.
I have written around 30 songs to date, all laced with invigorating
feelings, expressive language, and diverse styles. I taught myself guitar and wrote my first song called, "Homesick." I don't
seek fame or fortune through my music. Because I am more focused on my studies, I don't get a lot of time to write or record
as much now. However, I plan to never lay down my guitar or this gift God has given me :)
