Career[]
Waterfall grew up in northern Illinois and began studying piano at the age of eight. Her parents (both musicians) discouraged her from a musical career.[1] She graduated from Stanford University in 1971 with a degree in visual art.[1]
Despite her parents' advice, she began a career in music. She moved to Seattle, Washington, in 1975 and toured nationally since 1983. [2]
In the 1960s, she spent several years as a student of Baba Hari Dass and also studied Transcendental Meditation. She was a breast cancer survivor.[3] She died in Seattle after a long illness.[4]
