About Me

Skill Level:
Professional
Craft:
musician, model, session musician, composer, film composer
Instruments:

Genres:

Influences:

When I play my cello, I am completely pure, naked, and open. I long for the moments when my outer shell no longer matters. I hunger for every genuine tear of sorrow, joy, or understanding shared. When you can hear me for who I am, and see me in a way that doesn't involve looking at me, but rather looking through me, only then can I be satisfied.

When I play, I see ghosts. I am only aware of undiluted emotions manifesting; those that arise from the tribulations of life and of death, of the most beautiful love and the most heart wrenching grief. The same purity of feeling that has inspired every creator of art, of music; every human being that has ever dreamed of an ideal, lives in the flowing melodies. Expression through an abstract is blessed in its form to be free from the stains of reality.

When I make music, I rediscover my identity. Not a daughter, a sister, a lover, nor a friend, but only one soul connected to every other person that has walked the earth.

I ache to show you what is inside my heart. I ache to be understood. I ache for all of us to understand our humanity. I ache to tell the world an eternal story. Watch me, hear me pray in the only way I know how.

Voted for you. More votes on deck...

Tassili Bond wrote on December 27, 2008:

Great playing on the Yo-Yo mix! I've been saying for years that I'm gonna learn to play the cello but I never get around to it. I'm gonna get some of my friends to vote for you on the first day so that you get off to a fast start. Keep up the good work my fellow string player!

Hello, Tina! I saw your website...woooow, that's so amazing what you've done with music and how far you've taken it! How did you get into rock cello? That's something I'm really interested in trying, although I've usually considered myself a product of the hip-hop generation.
