Patrick Lockwood
Tracy Benson began performing back in high school, when she used to sit in the locker room to sing and play her guitar because she liked the acoustics. After a while, people started to gather and she realized she might be on to something! Music and songwriting quickly became the focus of her life and she began her musical career. She has an eclectic resume, which includes working as a lead vocalist/performer for Sea World San Diego touring with their road show, as well as recording character voices and vocals for various shows at the Park. She has also written and sung commercial jingles and performed with various bands throughout San Diego. After taking a detour into the corporate health industry and business world, Tracy is thrilled to be back doing what she loves best. Music has always been her main passion and joy.
