I started playing the harp over ten years ago, classically trained (French style) with a rich Celtic traditional streak. I now play almost exclusively jazz and contemporary music - pretty much anything from Gershwin to Joni Mitchell, Miles Davis to The Weather Report...

My harp is a Little Big Blue made by Camac Harp company. It's fully electro-acoustic, with pick-ups on each string and a full soundboard: this makes for great concert sound as well as funky effects when you plug in wah-pedals and so on.

I played for a long time at weddings in Vancouver with the group Music From the Mists, and am currently playing with CU Jazz in a variety of jazz combos on campus (we have clips on YouTube!).
