Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life!

About Me

This is a website I developed dedicated to celebrating my love of music and the arts.About Me: I am an vocalist/actress/model and so very blessed to be able to do the things I love to do. Born on the island of Christiansted, St. Croix, Virgin Islands. my mother introduced me to great music as a child. She would stack her albums late into the night and sit after we were in bed and listen in the darkness to Maria Callas, Beethoven, Bach, Dinah Washington, Nina Simone, Sara Vaughn, Ray Charles,Duke Ellington, Oscar Peterson, Louis Armstrong, these were my lullabies as I fell asleep. I vowed I would grow up someday and sing and I did. I have sung in movies, commercial jingles in many bands including the likes of jazz artist Ben Sidran who hosted a natiional jazz radio show. I also enjoyed jumping off of the highest backyard furniture as a child and after many broken bones and holes in my head I somehow decided I would grow up and be a stunt woman. How I came to that thought I will never know but I did that too, doing stunts for Halle Berry among others. I am currently an actress and have appeared in commercials, theatre, television and movies. I have been a print model also since age 15 and still am to this day. I have a beautiful daughter that God blessed me with who is the love of my life. I love to cook and feed folks. My thoughts about life would be that you treat people as you wish to be treated. Live life joyfully and live each moment as if it were your last. I don't want to just be a body here on earth taking up space. I want to give back and learn and really get the loving of others down right before I leave this earth. Even those that make loving them difficult. Forgive others and forgive yourself. Remember that friend you didn't treat so well yesterday might not be here tommorow to say "I'm sorry" to. Don't let anyone take a moment of your life away from you in sadness. The time we have on earth is so short and folks waste it away on stuff that is not worth those precious moments you give away to them. Take the time each day to do something kind for someone. Smile even if you have to smile through tears. I promise the smile will win. I have one rule while visiting here. Please keep it clean. No rudeness or disrespect to anyone here. Especially not me! This place is for grown folks. Thank you for visiting. I hope you will often. Enjoy! and HEY if you see me out in the street HOLLA at a sista!!!
