Biography

Hi! I’ve been an actress, singer, and songwriter all my life. I’ve starred in numerous theatrical productions, most notably, “Hair” and “The Me Nobody Knows” on Broadway, and “The Rocky Horror Show” & “Menopause The Musical” in Los Angeles. I have recorded for RCA, CBS, and Scepter Records and am best known for the million-seller, “Don’t Say You Don’t Remember” & “We’re Free”.

I have performed in clubs and concerts all over the country, including Reno Sweeney’s in New York, The Palmer House in Chicago, and the Coconut Grove, Studio One, and the Troubadour in Los Angeles. I’ve also appeared in many television commercials and movies, as well as on talk and entertainment shows such as “The Tonight Show”, “Merv Griffin”, “Mike Douglas”, and “American Bandstand”.

You’ve probably heard my voice on numerous radio and television commercials, cartoons, industrials, and CD-ROM games, and seen me acting on TV in “Veronica Mars” and in the film, “Upside Down”.

As a songwriter, I received a platinum record for writing the song, “Mousercise” for Disney, which became the theme for the long-running program on the Disney Channel, a live show at Disneyland, and a video. Several of my songs have charted in the U.S. and Europe, including “Morning Music” and the theme from the film “Hopscotch”.

I’ve also written the music and lyrics for the stage musicals “O’Mary’s”, “The Glitter Palace”, “Have A Jewish Christmas”, and “Born A Unicorn”, which were produced in Los Angeles and San Diego. I just finished writing a Christmas musical, “Gift of the Magi”.

I am proud to have received numerous awards, including the OBIE for “The Me Nobody Knows”, the L.A. Weekly Best Musical for “The Glitter Palace”, the AGLA Image Award for “The Glitter Palace”, The American Song Festival Best Song, and the Seoul International Song Festival Best Song, where I represented the United States as performer and composer.

Currently, I teach others in singing, songwriting, voice-over, acting, and accent reduction in Orange County and San Diego, and am working on a new CD. Stay tuned!
