Early life

Born and raised north of Seattle in the United States Pacific Northwest, she thrived on dance, music, and acting, studying dance from age three (ballet, tap, jazz, and modern), and competing nationally and regionally till she was 16 years old. She started studying voice at nine, and classical guitar at ten.

At age 16, Speer received an international scholarship to study in India for one year, where she became a certified yoga instructor and learned how to play the sitar.

She cut her first demo at age fourteen, and recorded her first album at 18. Soon after, she went on tour opening for Jewel.

She has remained on her own label, Speerit Records, and continues to record and release her albums independently.

Achievements

Social entrepreneur

Speer believes in tying together artistic and political parties to increase awareness on issues of human rights, environmental urgencies, political issues, abuse, and poverty.

"My dream is to help raise the consciousness of humanity through positive and empowering music, for, its force is unspeakable. Music is something that everyone can connect with and derive great inspiration from. We must realize that what lies behind music is a deep healing energy for the soul of humankind. I want to help people cultivate the inspiration and motivation to evolve into higher realms. It is a blessing to be able to do this kind of work with art, and I dedicate my life to it."
