Current Position: vocalist on Life Connection Church’s worship band

Church History: I was raised as a Christian and knew the Lord at a young age. I don’t remember actually going to church until I was about 9 or 10 years old. My mom would do bible studies at our home and I remember feeling connected to God, as much as my immature mind and heart would allow me to at that time in my life. The first church that I really remember going to was the Santa Barbara Vineyard and I pretty much stayed with the Vineyard until moving here to Arizona. I remember the first time I walked into the Vineyard in Santa Barbara. The church was an old converted theatre and it had a very cool vibe, or at least it did to a 10 year old. There was a full band on stage, people dancing, singing, shouting full of passion and it looked like a lot of fun and there was something authentic about the emotions they were expressing. I remember wanting to be a part of that immediately and since my friends who had brought me were a crazy bunch we jumped right in not even fully knowing what it was all about. I loved
the freedom there was to express my love for Jesus in song and it made a big impact on me, I feel like it was the start of God giving me a heart for worship.

Artistic History: I have always been a lover of the arts and all things creative. I think I was put in a dance class as soon as I could walk and was singing and playing piano shortly after that. I grew up on stage in everything from recitals to musicals to singing for a 17 piece swing band and anything in between. I know that God has given me a passion for music and all that goes with it which is why I feel so incredibly blessed to be a part of a church that has a desire for the creative arts to be a part of our service, outreach and expression of worship. I don’t really know how to express my deep love for music and dance into words, it’s something that comes out of such a deep place, I guess it would be best described as my spirit. I know that God has placed that in me and is constantly challenging me to step out in new ways in worship though music, song and dance. It’s a scary and exhilarating journey, one that I’m privileged to be on looking forward with great expectation for what is to come.

Musical taste: My musical taste is all over the board I really just enjoy good music whether that is rock, country, hip hop, jazz or anything else but here are some of my favorite bands/artists.

• U2
• Counting Crows
• John Mayer
• Norah Jones
• Snow Patrol
