Lyrics
I’ve been singing jazz and Brazilian music in Portuguese since I was sixteen years old.
Combining my musicianship with my love for the Portuguese language is exhilarating each time I translate an artist’s lyrics into English.
Also featured here are my original English lyrics to jazz instrumental compositions that I performed for over a decade with the Holly Holmes Jazz Quartet.
