QUOTE: “Music is my relaxation and my passion. Over the years, I have had the honor of studying with some wonderful vocal teachers. I decided early on that if anyone ever wanted to hear what I sang, then I would donate all profits to charity. It has given me great pleasure to perform all kinds of music, and perhaps to have touched a few hearts along the way.”
