I had to move out of my apartment on the 26th and unfortunately I couldn’t move into my new place till the 30th.  So for a lovely three day  period I was homeless. I moved my things into the house corner and slept on friends couches every night… well except one night. My friend Kaitlyn [...]

 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOUsbtUrXHk Oh my gosh!  I just died laughing when I listened to this. You have to watch this video. You can just imagine the tense parents cringing in the audience as they painfully listen to their children…”perform”. Now in all fairness I can laugh at this without feeling bad because I’ve totally been in that [...]

I have a confession, not only am I a hip hop, rock violinist but I am the fiddle player of the Charley Jenkin’s country band. That’s right, I can country it up with the best of them. This weekend we actually had a really big show and we had the opportunity to play on the [...]

I am an extremely frugal person, I never spend money frivolously, I am extremely hard-working and I am definitely much too busy to take a week to play. By taking a step back, I’ve come to the realization that sometimes I run so fast through life that I don’t stop to enjoy it. So with [...]

I am going to divulge a little secret. I am not the biggest fan of working out.  As soon I step onto the tread mill, or lift a dumbbell, I’m already bored. So when I exercise, I usually put my headphones in close my front blinds and dance around my apartment. Yes… I have 5 [...]

On Saturday morning, I was on the highway, driving to work, just doing my thing. I casually glanced to my right but immediately I  had to do a double take. To my surprise, a whole car of teenage boys rockin out on imaginary violins and pointing at me.  What the?!!!  Oh my gosh, they recognized [...]

I made the 2 hr drive up to Logan this weekend so I could open for Sean Kingston at Utah State. Well,a fluke snow storm came through,  it just so happened that the show was outside and with my luck… I was wearing shorts. Yep yep real smart Linds. I was absolutely freezing and there [...]

We did a test filming session to see how well the projections would work and it was awesome. The real music video will include hundreds of outfits, along with many backgrounds and more light. This was just a quick test. Check it out Here is the link to the campaign page http://www.indiegogo.com/Hip-Hop-Violin-Music-Video This video shares [...]

I have had a pretty stressful last week. I was trying to prepare for finals, I worked 18 hours and on top of that, I had a show in AZ on Thursday, and a show on both Friday and Saturday in Vegas.  Right before I flew out of town on Wednesday, my M COM teacher [...]

It’s funny how you can know a person for years and still feel a very tangible gap in your relationship and yet you can know someone else for a day and feel incredibly connected. I don’t know what it is about people’s chemistry that makes certain friendships and relationships work. I wish I could discover [...]

I am working extremely hard to fund and produce a music video for my song “Transcendence” about living up to the greatness that is in each of us. This video shares an extremely powerful message for anyone. In particular, any girl who uses unhealthy coping strategies — including eating disorders, drugs, or cutting — can [...]

I am a frugal person and since am always juggling a myriad of diverse activities, i try to make the best use of time. Well, two weeks ago I had a gig in Vegas playing at the MGM Casino Mansion. They paid me enough to fly but seeing as Vegas is only 5 hrs away, [...]

I am super excited because I submitted a video to the Stadium of Fire talent search and they selected me as one of their top 40 finalists. It is now down to internet voting to determine what three acts will get to open for Brad Paisley and David Archuleta at the Stadium of Fire show. [...]

Along with my love of performing, I enjoy motivational speaking. I have recently gone to several elementary schools, Jr. highs and even high schools to do assemblies. I perform several songs and in between each number, I shared my personal experiences that have gotten me to where I am today. I talk about finding passions, [...]

As some of you might have noticed, when my family gets together, catching up on current events and playing cards can only entertain us for so long. At Christmas time, we made MJ turn in his grave as we learned his Thriller dance (you can view it in a previous blog post). This along with [...]
