My little project

So, our story begins with me. A musician trapped in a corporate employee’s body. In my free-wheeling, hippie artist days I had the brief and joyful opportunity to travel the land singing with amazing musicians–many of whom are also some of my close friends. However, every time I tried a new style of music I never quite felt like it totally fit me. I’m not loud enough to be an opera singer (ask my family that when I’m singing in the shower in the morning and you may get a different answer), I’m not cool enough to be the next Frank Sinatra, and I’m definitely not Country…but I do like to sing. So, I decided to try other things, and discovered that I really enjoy business and networking, and all of those corporate left-brained things that don’t relate so easily to the stage. Now, I’m a singing recruiter. By day, I am a professional matchmaker–helping companies find good people, and good people find good companies–and on the weekends we have this project.

My recital.

My family has always been after to me to record a CD, but for me that’s a little too formal, and if I do make a proper record I want to have my own material and an organized voice. This is just a lot more fun, and it’s still a way to sing for people and not drag them all out to an overheated performance hall on a Sunday afternoon during naptime. The plan is to simply record songs that I like to sing, and I will post some of them here like a virtual recital you are always welcome to attend.

This first post, The Way You Look Tonight, was the first song Jihyun and I danced to at our wedding. We performed it together at my senior degree recital at ASU.
