I love music,writing and reading. I am also a fan of great conversation and love to vibe with artists of all genre, Anybody with something to say or do creatively is alright with me. My mission is to use my talents to glorify god. As a young saved woman I believe it is our turn to change the face of christianity, you can be young , you can have fun and still be pleaseing unto the lord. Much Love to all those struggling artists doing their thing at open mics striving to provide the last proof that there is still real music.
