Naomi is a young cowgirl with a great love and talent for singing. In the past few years she has traveled across the countryside in Canada and the United States performing for thousands, while being rewarded with kindness and admiration from folks of every age. Naomi's love for old tyme traditional country music lead her to self-taught yodeling, which she incorporates into her performances for an overwhelming response. Naomi was featured in the top 200 across Canada for the Canada's Got Talent 2012 season. She gained exposure and notoriety from the amazing experience. Also among the many accolades received the past years Naomi cherishes the "Havelock Fans Choice Award", the BC Cowboy Heritage Rising Star and The Western Music Association, 2 time "Youth Yodeler of the Year". A proud Canadian, Naomi has received awards from Municipal, Provincial, and Federal Governments for her outstanding achievements in music.
Naomi lives on a small horse farm in Beeton, Ontario Canada with her Mom, Lynda and her Dad Eugene. She has a sister, Amber and two brothers, Hayden and Westin. Raised in a rodeo family Naomi of course has a great love for animals and enjoys riding at any opportunity. Naomi also has a great appreciation for western cowboy music, enjoying its storytelling and simplicity. Naomi's strong faith has guided her to gospel music and she loves to sing with her church band.
In the spring of 2008, Naomi recorded her first album titled "Cowboy Sweetheart", followed by "The Yodelin' Cowgirl" November 1st 2008, then "Ridin' High" which came out July 20th 2009.

She recorded her first three albums at Ambassador Records in Oshawa, Ontario. Her fourth CD "Lookin' Back" was recorded in Nashville, TN and Naomi had the honor and privilege to sing two duets with Jim Ed Brown, Grand Ole Opry Star.

In March of 2012 Naomi's path took another direction. She recorded her most memorable CD titled "Blessed Trails". A lovely selection of gospel songs and featured the one and only Mr. Vince Gill.
