If you could pick any artist dead or alive to meet — who would it be and why?
Eva Cassidy – she had such magic!
What do you enjoy most about being a vocal coach?
Spending time singing and getting to know beautiful people! I absolutely love the feeling of seeing a singer break through and just kill a song they thought they couldn’t sing. It’s so personal and so magical! I feel lucky to be there with them for those moments 🙂

When You Say Nothing At All – by Alison Krauss

Sia – working with her would be a dream! She’s one of my favorite writers and singers out there – I’ve been a fan for years!
Who is your biggest guilty pleasure musician?
