 SMASH HIT
My first album was recorded in 2000, when I was a 15-year-old sophomore in high school. It's kind of like my diary for that year, taking on all the gossip in the halls, the crushes, the drama. Since I was so young, my voice is a lot smaller, and the melodies simpler, but no less effective. "I don't give a shit if the boys don't like it/Why am I supposed to be perfect?" still gets cheers.
STAR TRACKS: Smash Hit, Unfinished, Guilty
SCHOOLGIRL GHETTO
This album was purely for fun. It's campy on purpose, a swinging, punching, flirting CD. It goes along with a story with the same title, which can be found at fictionpress.net. It's a concept album, making songs from ideas and scenarios in superhero comics and movies. I used material from my childhood, influences like Tori Amos, and I used the keyboard (and synth beats) as opposed to just the piano here, but the vocal/keyboard balance is way off.
STAR TRACKS: Runaway, Smolder, Unlove Song
RUNNER UP
This album wrote itself after I fell in love for the first time. As a kid, I vowed NEVER to write those awful love songs, but by age 17 I guess I'd changed my point of view. This is the first album I went public with, and the only other one available for sale. It's the only sensitive, vulnerable kind of album with a softer feel. It very much is where I was at the time; in awe of a new emotion. It covers a lot of space; jealousy, the melancholy in love, virginity, contentment, and of course, love when unrequited.
STAR TRACKS: Afraid of Falling, Blue, Carrot Cake
APRIL RISING
My first real breakup spawned April. If Runner Up is a soft album, April's full of knives. I directed all my incredibly heated anger at the piano, and twelve songs bounced on out and ripped apart everything in site. Musically, it's by far the most advanced album, and my personal favorite. But if you're looking for gentle "Sarah McLachlan" crooning, don't look here. This is an ass-kicking album. It's also available to buy here and now, so get on it!
STAR TRACKS: Jezebel, Come So Far, Scissors
