IMAGINARY INTERVIEW
Q: I've heard you sing, but I've read that you are a landscape designer. What's the deal???
A: I'm a landscape designer and a jazz vocalist. My upcoming cd ‘The Garden Is My Stage’ combines the two in a joyous celebration of songs that take you into the wondrous realm of the garden!
Q: Is it true you also sing in Spanish?
A: As one of the Tres Divas, a group I co-founded with Lorraina Marro and Jackie Gibson, I indulged my passion for singing in Spanish (my native tongue). Spanish is a Romance language and the perfect vehicle for expressing sensuality and love.
Q: Some of the songs you sing have Spanish lyrics no one has ever heard before. Who translates for you?
A: I do all my translations! I discovered that I had a knack for translating when Sandra Piller, a vocalist and friend, asked me to translate Ruth Roberts' (her mother in law) songs into Spanish. Since then, I've been translating songs and coaching singers in Spanish pronunciation and phrasing.
Q: Can you name some venues where you have performed?
A: It has been my pleasure to perform concerts and to have appeared as a guest performer in some of the most popular stages and clubs of Los Angeles: The World Stage, The Gardenia, Upstairs at Vitello’s, The Baked Potato, and Boardwalk 11 to name a few.
Thank you for visiting my site. I hope to see you at future concerts!
