About Me |
|
I’m 23 years old and I’ve been singing professionally for many years. It all started for me when I was 2 or so in my hometown church. Ever since, I have continued to indulge in my passion for music. I was born in Gander, NFLD and I moved around a lot as a kid. We first moved to Malton, ON when I was 10 or so and then to Brampton, ON, where I attended high school at Bramalea Secondary School.In my school years, I always participated in the Choir. I credit my music teachers Mrs. Joy Cookson (William Mercer Academy), Mr. Tanny Gibson (Dunrankin Elementary School) and Mr. Chris Arthurs (Bramalea Secondary School) for giving me the discipline and knowledge of what it takes to be successful in the business and the joy of Music itself.At 16, I signed to an Indie Label and released my first country music single. I toured with a local agency called Performerz which allowed me to sing in theatres, malls and festivals.At 19, I joined my very first band. We played the bar/club circuit around Ontario for four years playing a mix of country, top 40, rock, R’n B and retro.When I turned 23, I realized I wanted to be more than just a club singer. I was living with my parents in my hometown of Hare Bay, NFLD when I knew I needed to take the next step. I didn’t exactly know what it was going to be but, I had to do something. For 4 years, my parents tried to talk me into auditioning for the Idol show. I was completely against everything that had to do with the show. I was not about to give up on years of paying my dues to become an instant star. My parents and friends understood my feelings but still pursued to talk me into auditioning. For some reason, I gave in. I thought, what do I have to lose?On April 4th, my life had completely changed. I auditioned in St. John’s and received a gold ticket to proceed to the top 100 of the Idol show. I was suprisingly feeling really good about what I had accomplished. I went into the top 100 and really tried to put my all into what I was performing. This gained me a spot in the top 22 and later to Season’s 5 Top 10 of Canadian Idol with a final spot at the top 6.I have to say, after being so bias about this show, being on it completely changed my perspective. I’m so appreciative that I had such an amazing opportunity to have my voice heard on one of the biggest shows in television. I stronly suggest to anyone who is trying to pursue their dreams of music to at least audition. It has changed my life and has taught me so much about the music industry.As of right now, my next goal is to break into the business side of music. I’ll be creating and posting written and video blogs about my journey. I’m not sure where it’s going to take me but, you’ll all be invited for the ride. |
