About Me

..Through my many travels in this life, I realize people add and subtract from your life. Life is one big lesson after another. There are three relationships in life you need to have. The first is with God, the second nature and the third with self. If you realize who you are, why you are and how to break negative ancestral patterns life is wonderful. When you have God you are happy everything you wish will manifest. Never concentrate on the problems! It is up to God to deliver you from stagnation and deliver your blessings. Never say never for with God all things are possible. Live in light and Love. Forgive and Let go allow you’re past to be a memories, lessons, and stepping stones do not let it keep you from your future. Love unconditionally, work hard; however never let the physical and material possessions change, who you are. We are made to be kings and queens and have the finer things but remember nothing is as important as a life. A human life can not be replaced. When you are caught up in this world remember those who love you for none is promised tomorrow. Never think that you’re not good enough in your life to find God because he will always accept you and make all things better. I give Praise and thanks to God because without him I would not be here. Wishing everyone, the highest and the best in all things.Biography/DiscographyI live and breathe dance and music. "Dancer/ Therapist/Songwriter" Biography/Discography: Raised in South Carolina and Virginia, Chevon Ayende wasted no time starting her dance career. Chevon came from a family of Musicians and Artists. Chevon Ayende mother was a singer, drummer and keyboard player. Chevon’s Father was a singer, artist and musician. Coming from Southern, Caribbean and Latin Roots she always had music and dance in her blood. When she was just four, she studied Tap and Gymnastics at SCSC (South Carolina State College) in a gateway program and swiftly became one of the most praised young ladies of her class. By the age of 12 Chevon had become active in the community, participating in an AIDS awareness campaign for the youth, she composed and executed an emotional performance that would win the first prize and the hearts of the entire town alike. Articles in the BEAUFORT GAZETTE (S.C. newspaper) were just the start for this Unique Beauty. In Virginia she expanded her skills by acquiring seven years of Tap, African, Ballet and Jazz. In 1996, she came to New York as a student and started to focus more on her Latin heritage. Taking classes in Salsa & Flamenco mixed in with her Rumba and Son helped her express herself more freely.
