About Me

Well i'm a professional singer or atleast i suppose i can say that seeing as i make a living singing!! I moved t the Netherlands almaost 8 years ago to study chemistry. And now i'm majoring in jazz-vocals at the conservatory of Rotterdam. Which i decided to do to broaden my musical horizon 2 years ago. After working with many different artists and being nagged all the time by friends and fellow musicians that it's time to do my own thing. So the plan is to have my first solo album ready by fall 2007.....i'm coming to getcha...................................................... .................................................In the years that i've been singing and living in this country i've had the opportunity to work and play with some of the best musicians and artists around town. Candy Dulfer, Randal Corsen(who really inspired me), Izaline Calister, Jagged Soul, Tasha's World, Tumbabo, Rob van de Wouw, Leslie Nielsen (these are my boys!!!), Senna, Ninthe, Tribute to Bob Marley Band, Phat Groove Phoundation. Just to name a few!! The individual musicians are to numerous to mention. And lately i had the privilege to work with the boss himself Mister Swamp Dogg all the way from L.A....................................................... I've also travelled all around the world.

Band Members: I'm now working with lots of different musicians during the writing process but right now i'm mainly working with www.leslienielsen.nl check em' out!! They are funky motherfo's. I'll keep you posted.
Influences: I was raised in the caribbean. So you can imagine that i have many different influences. From Bob Marley to Mahalia Jackson seeing as i was raised in church..............................My dad and a large part of my family are and were also musicians and singers. So I had alot of musical food for thought. Everything from funk,soul, salsa, motown, jazz, fusion, reggae to gospel music................................Strangely enough i love to listen to instrumental music eventhough i'm a singer. But i actually see myself more as a musician than just a singer.
