Just Want To Be Loved

About

On my 12th birthday, my stepfather Leo Aston gave me a baby Gibson electric guitar, (my first). I remember thinking to myself how crazy this man was for getting me, a ballerina, a guitar! One day soon after my 12th birthday I became extremely bored, and attempted to burden my family in hopes someone would pay attention to me. Instead, my mom told me to leave everyone alone and write a song to preoccupy myself. I sat there staring at my guitar, and after about 2 hours of figuring out 3 chords, I began to write how I felt. My very first song was called "I'm Bored."

I never stopped pursuing my dreams of having my music known. I have always played gigs, and at home. Opening for Robin Trower was an amazing experience, and making a music video was another highlight!

I hope to continue my dreams of making my music known!

Please buy my music and contact me if you're interested in booking me for a gig...thanks!
