I started out as a singer and actor--sang with acapella jazz group Pacific Jazz and Electric out of L.A, acted in plays, sang in musicals, bars, and cabarets in New York, Florida, Colorado and California, and later recorded albums and performed with new age, world and contemporary instrumental musicians like Peter Kater, R. Carlos Nakai, David Darling, Cathie Malach, Tad Robinson, Eric Edberg, Nawang Khechog, Steve Snyder, and Leo Sussman, and created albums Skeleton Woman and Pagan Saints with the group Flesh and Bone, which I co-founded with grammy winner pianist/composer Peter Kater.
