Hi, and thanks for checking out my profile. Here goes the inevitable listing of accomplishments.
I have performed throughout the U.S. as a soloist at New York City Opera, San Francisco Opera, Opera Theatre St. Louis, San Francisco Symphony, Midsummer Mozart, Eugene Opera, Opera San Jose, West Edge Opera, and The Yerba Buena Center, among others, as well as doing recording session work as a studio singer for numerous film, television, and commercial CD releases for clients as diverse as Time/Life/Warner, the Garfield Television series, Apple, and rock acts Royal Fingerbowl and Gentry Bronson.
As a pop and rock singer / songwriter, I have appeared on MTV, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno (with John Cale of The Velvet Underground) and opened for Todd Rundgren, George Benson, Dana Carvey, and Helen Hunt at the Fillmore Auditorium, the Shoreline Ampitheater, Villa Montalvo, and the Palace of Fine Arts. An original founding member of and arranger for San Francisco's acclaimed Screaming Divas, my album DREAM DANCE of original Folktronica / Baroque Pop music (under the artist name Nymphya) was released globally in 2018. http://nymphya.com/
I am proud to have received a few awards for my work: The Wishard A. Brown award from the Marin Symphony, Finalist in the MacAllister Award for Opera Singers, Best Vocal Arrangement Award from the Harmony Sweepstakes, Best in the Beyond Category from the SF Weekly, Best Featured Actress in a Musical from Theatre Bay Area Critics Circle, and Nominated for Best Original Script from Theatre Bay Area Critics Circle.
I teach vocal technique based on the methods of David Jones, as well as music comprehension and interpretation.
