About Me

Like most of our great singers, I started singing in church, junior then senior choir, school choir, then I started doing church concerts. Wow! people started pushing me to go into various concerts and contests, they keep telling me, "girl you can sing," it felt good so I ventured out doing shows little by little, while still doing banking. Entered various beauty contests, which helped me to get over my shyness, oh yes I was a shy one. I am ok now. I decided to go into the tourist industry where I worked for Sandals, got my practice how to interact with my audience by singing in the resident band at nights and participating in staff and guest shows. The entertainment manager there at the time, saw me, heard me and said I need to be in show biz. He got me my first paying gig and the rest................................ Love and play all kinds of music, Jazz, R&B, Reggae etc. Movies are great to relax your mind, I love comedy, action and suspense. Take life seriously but can be a real easy going person. Love the gym like crazy. Practice vocal training I got from my voice tutor. I am a performer extraordinaire (Singer, song writer), dubbed one of the best in live performances. On the way I have collected a few awards. I perform in hotels, stage shows, cooperate functions, weddings etc. I have done a few gigs in UK, and the USA. I am a Jamaican, but will go anywhere in the world I am invited to perform. I am hoping to find some positive persons who will help me to excel more musically. I would love to have an album or two to my name. That is my ultimate goal. I think I have a few CDs inside of me (I can put forward songs to make you sit down and listen, cry or stand up and dance.). Well whenever I perform my audience always ask me "When are you coming back, when will we get to hear you again, where can we get you album." Will tell you more later on...... One love and respect to all the singers, musicians and the wonderful fans out there who keep the music alive. Peace within.

I am influenced by all genre of music. Reggae, Jazz, R&B, Oldies, ska etc.I would love to meet interesting positive people for networking. Producers who would love to work with a great singer. Like a Clive Davis or a Quincy Jones or any great producer from anywhere. I would love to meet people of substance, people who are humble yet strong. Spiritual people who love god with a passion too. My dream is to make an album and make people love to listen to it over and over again. Deep rooted music, love songs etc. that will help to change and heal the world in a lot of ways. There are still genuine persons out there, so lets get the courage to change the things we can in this world. Music is one tool, to do just that.
