How long have you been singing/playing?
"I found my passion for music at a young age. Growing up in the 90’s and 2000’s, you can imagine the diversity of all of the pop stars I had to look up to (wink). I remember when I was 8 years old one of my very first tastes of performing, I sang “Genie in a Bottle” by Christina Aguilera at a local bar and grill and it was a done deal from there! I quickly became infatuated with learning new songs and performing them for who ever would listen! I grew up listening to my Mom sing some of the greats like Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey and Celine Dion. I quickly followed her lead and I learned how to train my voice and pick up on the sounds I heard from her songs. I have memories of singing along to my favorite musicals/movies, doing dance routines with my sister and performing for others. As I grew, so did my voice and my love for singing. I went on to take choir and musicals in school, singing occasionally with small groups and now working with a talented band. Being able to share my love for performing and music with the group has been the highlight of my singing career so far. I’m so excited to see where we go!"
What inspired you to sing?
"To be a part of something that brings joy to others while performing!"
What does Eclectix mean to you?
"Naming the band was really fun. We all were sharing different ideas and calling each other up with different names and their meanings. When we came up with Eclectix, it really stuck and everyone loved it immediately. Being a cover band, we really wanted to recreate that friendly, fun sound that everyone knows and loves. Eclectix brings memories, old and new, it brings everyone together. It’s a wide variety of music that people love to sing along and dance to. A place to hear all of your favorites from throughout the years."
More about you:
"I was born and raised in Wichita. I’m a Mom to two amazing boys. I’ve always had a passion for singing and performing, I enjoy singing all kinds of songs from disco, to 80’s and even rock and roll. I truly love all genres, so I’m really glad I found a band that understands me and has the same love for music as I do. I am a very friendly person, I take pride in kindness and spreading love in a world that always needs it. You’ll catch me laughing whenever I can and smiling. I never miss an opportunity to have fun. If I’m not with my children, wonderful partner, or my band you will catch me outside in nature. Hobbies include, finding things (shelling, rock collecting), cooking, and the obvious, singing :) I’m so thrilled to be a part of something that brings everyone together with music and I couldn’t be happier performing with these 3 talented guys in the band. We are so excited to bring Kansas a good time and are here for our fans!!! We’ve had so much support from all of you and are so excited to meet new people and keep building relationships along the way!!!!"
