Don't abandon dreams from your youth; adjust them as required, and they will flourish.

About Me

I'm interested in everything...things I already love and those I have yet to experience. There is too much to learn, too many places to see and never enough time to fit it all in but my plan is to try my best to enjoy it all. I don't believe in limits (except for the ones we place upon ourselves) and the stars are never too far to reach. My favorite place is on stage and I couldn't imagine a life without performing.After appearing on MTV's The Wade Robson Project, I moved to Los Angeles in 2004 from Atlanta, Georgia to continue working as a dancer and further my music career. I've worked with Ying Yang Twins, TLC, Nivea, ATL and more, appearing on shows such as Jimmy Kimmel Live, B-Street Live, TBS, and Radio Disney to name a few. Currently I'm writing away, working on new material and co-writing with some amazing and well-known talents here in LA.I thrive on the love and support from my family and those closest to me in my life. I like to have fun without the drama, and I am thankful for each day I get to wake up and pursue my dreams.

My Interests

MUSIC...MUSIC...MUSIC! I love to sing it, write it, and dance to it...music lives inside of me. My love and my family, adventures, gourmet food, wine, dark chocolate, cooking, discovering new places, the mountains, reading, secret gardens, international and domestic politics, laughing...a lot, spending time in with my man, our dog Dixie, surprises, THE STEELERS, Autumn time, surprises, the ocean, the wind on my face, fitness, hiking, biking, snowboarding...anything outdoors and I'm in!!! I'm interested in people, and cultures from around the world! I love trying new things and learning...I never want to stop growing.

I have an amazing family who supports me in all that I do, wonderful friends, and incredible man in my life that I love and respect...I couldn't be more blessed!
