g, CA
Musician

Proud Canadian and proud Acadian. When I was young, I thought that all family get-togethers had uncles, aunts and cousins playing fiddles, guitars, spoons, harmonica, mandolins while the children were encouraged to dance in the middle of the music circle. As I grew older, I remember thinking “What do you mean that you just play the stereo at your parties?” Music has been a part of my life, well, all my life – when I was 6 years old, a travelling accordion salesman came into our kitchen, had me play a song and told my Mom I had musical talent. I never did get the accordion but my parents eventually bought me a $75 upright piano. I was hooked. The singer/songwriter life brought interesting gigs like performing for our Olympic athletes in Salt Lake City, USA and Athens Greece; performing at BPW International World Congress in Helsinki, Finland; on a moving train VIA Rail as Artist on Board to British Columbia; opening the World Acadian Congress. As a keynote speaker, I love sharing my music and my story about going from being a full time Mom living-in-the-country lifestyle to performing my original songs for our Canadian Olympic athletes at two Olympic Games (Salt Lake City 2002 and Athens Greece 2004) in a multimedia presentation called “Living YOUR Dream”.
