Heather briefly played the violin, but found her true love at the piano where she could create her own music. She began composing in her teens and has steadily developed her songwriting skills ever since.
Heather combined her love for music and her love for drama in 2007 when she completed "Through Her Eyes", a dramatic musical about the life of Jesus from Mary Magdalene's perspective. This musical is performed annually at her church and has received rave reviews from The Tampa Tribune.

Heather experienced one of the biggest trials, and biggest victories, of her life in 2008. She fell down a staircase and landed neck-first onto the handrail, paralyzing her right vocal cord. Tests were run, and doctors said she may never sing again. She was ordered to strict vocal rest for 6 months.
"It seemed like the longest 6 months of my life. Suddenly, the voice that I had depended on was gone. The very essence of who I thought I was, was gone. I had always been a singer. I knew that God had given me gifts, had inspired songs. But there I was, unable to use it, and wondering if I ever would again.
But God used that time to teach me valuable, amazing lessons about who I really was....my voice did not define who I was, He did."
After vocal rest, a little learning, and a lot of prayer, Heather's vocal cord began to work again. She decided never to take singing for granted again, and went to work on Learn & Live, her debut CD. It is a compilation of Christian, country/blues, and love ballads. "It's a smorgasbord of themes and styles, because that's how life is!"
