Myspace Backgrounds Welcome to my space. Many blessings and happiness to you! For as long as I remember, I have always loved to sing. It comes so natural; it feels so comfortable. My desire is to share my voice through singing songs that will inspire and encourage everyone, young and old, to be the best they can be. God had even higher plans for me. Being in the right place at the right time is what made it possible for me to aspire to share my voice to audiences around the world. The meetings and collaboration of Russell Rogers of 2b1 Sounds and Tim Hall of StageFright Music & Video Productions, Inc. made it possible for me to realize I had the potential to write songs which led to the release of my first CD, “New Beginnings” (eight of the eleven songs on the CD I wrote). It was as if God gave me his stamp of approval when I wrote my first song, ‘Can You Give Your All To Me,’ which is now featured in the hit urban comedy movie, “Fulgazi.” In addition, a song I wrote on my "Come See Me" CD titled "Lifetime Affair" is featured in the movie "Hardrock" with actor Michael Wright. I give God all of the highest praise! Also, as a member of the management staff of StageFright Music & Video Productions, I can now help others realize their potential and make their very own dreams come true.

During a recent interview KarenJ (as she is now known) said, "Music has always been a part of my life." I grew up listening to Nancy Wilson, Ella Fitzgerald, Billy Holiday, etc. As is typical of many of the great singers of the past, KarenJ started singing in the church. As she grew, so did her talent and popularity. Her popularity lead to performing with local bands in and around the Tulsa area. Musically influenced by the divas of jazz and R&B, nightclubs and cabaret style venues would become her forte. With personality and charm, KarenJ is able to draw an audience in to "her world." As she said in a recent interview she "wants everyone to feel like they are the guest of honor" when she sings...http:www.afrophics.net" target="-_blank"
