Felicia had the opportunity of growing up with a father that always has an instrument in his hand, whether it be a guitar, fiddle, mandolin, or hands on the piano.  At five she asked to begin studying violin and two years later began her violin studies.  Shortly after she began her piano studies and the rest is history.

​

She has studied many different styles of music ranging from Classical to Country, Bluegrass and Old Time, Swing and Jazz, and even Indian Classical Music.  She enjoys traveling the world and makes an effort to learn and study the music from every culture she encounters.  She has had the opportunity to drum with local people of the desert in Morocco, study traditional Burmese harp in the heart of Myanmar, and study both Sitar and Violin in the birthplace of Indian Classical Music - Varanasi, India.  

​

Felicia greatly enjoys teaching and has donated her time teaching music to children around the world that would not otherwise have the opportunity to learn.  She is in the process of attempting to start a free music program for the children of Varanasi, India.  To donate, please contact Felicia on this website.

Nothing puts a bigger smile on Felicia's face than being on stage!  Felicia delivers high energy performances that are bound to keep everyone dancing.  Recording is another one of Felicia's favorite activities.  Felicia has recorded over on over 20 albums on many different styles.  For session references and to hire Felicia for session work please see the last page of this website for more information!

Felicia is a former Executive Board member of the American Federation of Musicians Local 433 and current member of Local 400 and believes strongly in solidarity between musicians and those involved in the industry and beyond.

Music is happiness and happiness is Music.  Everything that is done with laughter and a happy heart is inherently perfect as perfection is attained when we let our soul smile!
