Her debut CD, "Beautiful to Me," was hailed as "a perfectly realized and surprisingly mature and polished pop gem from the still-young Dreis, who is as promising a pop talent as Columbia's ever seen" (Patrick Wall, Columbia Free-Times).
Her most recent release "Taking Time" (March, 2011) was produced and recorded by Jay Clifford (of Jump Little Children) and Josh Kaler (of Slow Runner) at their studio Hello Telescope in Charleston, SC. She has toured with Jay Clifford throughout the Southeast and has performed alongside national acts such as Edwin McCain, Toby Lightman, Chris Barron (of Spin Doctors), Tonic, and We the Kings.
As a recent cum laude graduate of the University of South Carolina Honors College, she continues to write songs for herself and other artists, tour as an artist, and record new material. She anticipates her move to Nashville, TN in August where she will pursue her music career full-time.
