About Me


A lil lady with huge aspirations. I grew up in a village in Zimbabwe (where I was once a member of the national gymnastics team!), but at 15, the combination of hard work, luck, and an amazing scholarship from the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation landed me at Stanford University. Over the past few years studying construction, cement, and how grass grows...er...i mean Civil Engineering, I've come to realize how much I'd rather write songs for a living. Needless to say, my parents hate me.
Just about everything artistic. And I'm a sucker for a boy with a guitar, though I hear a lot of the famous ones have herpes.
Kidding......?
Being from Zimbabwe, I've lost countless friends and relatives to AIDS. There's nothing I dream of more than a cure for the AIDS virus...or at least that we all learn (and care) to prevent it. Before you leave, peep my AIDS organization Kijana. In fact, don't even think about browsing my pictures until you have! It's number 1 in my top friends.
...it'd also be kind of cool to create a couple of award-winning records before I die...partially because I love music & partially because I'm pretty sure my mom will hate me until then! ;)
That anything is possible & that Taco Bell is better than any fancy restaurant in the world.
