  Where are you from and could you tell us a little bit of your upbringing? I   was born in Detroit, and grew up in and around the city. I am from a typical Midwestern suburban family. Two hard working parents, 3 siblings, and a great neighborhood group of friends that I still maintain many friendships with to this day. I was always active in different types of athletics, but music was always my first passion. Especially when it came to singing. I started in choir as a young kid, and continued all the way through high school.  What genre of music do you make and when did you first decide to be a musician?  I make alternative rock music. I knew I wanted to be a musician the first time I heard Rock and Roll all night by KISS when I was 5 years years old. Who are some of the notable artists and people that influenced your career thus far? I have been influenced by so many different artists, and types of music my whole life. Early influences were KISS, Foreigner, Elton John, and Billy Joel

  Could you tell us a little about your upbringing? I am a multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and cello teacher. I grew up in the vibrant Austin music scene, raised classical, and attended a rigorous conservatory for cello performance. After several months, I recognized that the scope of music available for my study had deepened in technical diculty but had not broadened in cultural representation, and the school was unable to teach me more about the genres of music I was actually interested in. After I left the conservatory, I spent the following years studying every type of music I could access: from Afro-Indigenous Brazilian percussion to rock to jazz to bluegrass to Celtic folk music and improvisation with cello goblin Rushad Eggleston... By the time I was 25 I had performed on stage with musicians such as Sarah Chang, Father John Misty (opening for Paul McCartney), Chris Brubeck, members of the Philadelphia Orchestra, and The Eagles. I also maintained a cello teaching career, focu

  For people just discovering you Eileen, could you tell us a little about your background?  EC : Sure. I grew up in middle class family in a suburb of Cleveland, Ohio. Sang in school musicals, church and theater productions and banged on the drums for a time. I was always into music but went to school for management and began working for a national hotel chain, which transferred me to Los Angeles at my request.  I came to Los Angeles to work in the film industry, even ended up in a couple films, but I couldn't ignore my love of music over all things. I was booking entertainment as part of my management chores when I realized I could sing and write songs myself. Never looked back.   What’s a typical day of creation like for you? EC:  I am constantly writing little notes to myself. Little things that I see. Or some melody might catch my whim. I spend every day thinking of song ideas, and put aside time for my writing. I then take those ideas in a rough outline and I look for a colla
