It's my dream to share MY life lessons through the gift of song. I believe that every story, -- good, bad, and ugly -- can be told best through HONEST music. Music makes even the hardest pain easier to bear. Music should provoke or evoke some form of true emotion daily..if you're listening to music of substance that is.. 

I'm a singer first and foremost, a songwriter, and just an overall entertainer. I would like people to get personal with me and not have people get personal with a 'bio'. I enjoy what I do and I know wherever I perform I leave a lasting impression on the public. As a child I was known for entertaining my family and friends with my vocals and crazy performances. Whenever family was invited over they demanded I do my Michael Jackson impersonation. My mother, who is my greatest role model and a beautiful alto in her own right, has always encouraged me to utilize my talent. I joined a few choirs here and there but mainly stayed in the studio working on my talent. Honest music is the brand that best describes my musical sound. By merging MY greatest influences, such as Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Prince, and Donnie Hathaway, with modern talents, the likes of Stokely, Kenny Greene, D'Angelo and countless others, I have tried to create a mature and graceful sound. I truly believe my dynamic musical journey has only just begun. 

I've been blessed to share the stage with many talented people and look forward to working with many more. Having the opportunity to tour Asia was amazing knowing that honest music brings wonderful people together and allows the public to witness this synergy. I really want to thank everyone for supporting me and the people I work with. I do this 'thing' called music out of love and I hope it shows each time I step on the stage. 

One last thing, if you haven't had the chance to see my show yet then my suggestion is, "you betta ask somebody". Thanx 4 the Love!!
