I am a singer / songwriter / general goofball based in Toronto, Canada. I left my life in academia to pursue music 2 years ago and it's been a wild and scary ride at times haha. When people ask what my music is like, I ask them to imagine Alanis in Wonderland having tea with Charles Dickens and The Cranberries. It's the most accurate way I can think to describe it.
After hearing about people like Matthew Ebel, I started running my own webcast around 6 months ago and it has been a lot of fun. More importantly, it has been meaningful for the artists who come on the show because they are able to perform for and interact with fans/friends/family around the world who can't normally come to their shows because of the physical distance. I want these artists to get paid to perform. I want every independent artist to be able to make a living doing what they love (myself included). That is why I am hoping to start a button making service as part of the webcast and my general entrepreneurial services.
