She briefly majored in languages at Bryn Mawr College but dropped out in her second year. Returning to Oakland, she began working as a musician in churches, Renaissance fairs, cabaret and other local venues, while surviving on varied jobs such as roofing, auto mechanics, carpentry, translation and secretarial work.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Latest Release / Biography )〕 Landing a position editing a Spanish-language trade magazine led to several trips to Brazil and other South American countries, influencing her unique mix of salsa, jazz and Brazilian musical genres. After releasing her first and second albums, both produced by Wayne Wallace, she left the magazine to dedicate her time fully to a music career.
