I have writing songs on my own for about six years.

I can't play my songs on the smaller harp. I have a Celtic harp. I can't do the key changes.

People are often afraid for me. They think that I am going to break. I can make it through a set.

Around eighth grade I decided I wanted to be a composer and that's what I went to college for. Just a few years back, I switched out of composition and into creative writing so I could work with words.

What a woman does is open doors. And it is not a question of locking or unlocking.

The very first Walnut Whales recording was recorded just a few weeks after I had started singing, out of the blue, started singing. And the voice, you can hear how uncomfortable I am with it, and how terrified I am with it.

I started playing harp about fourteen years ago.
