SETHE'S WORLD:
A unique style of poise and realism can only be described in the name “Sethe.” Mistaken for the opposite sex by those who have never seen her and only heard her name, Sethe exemplifies strong character and mellowness to the nth degree.A native of Detroit , Michigan , Sethe Tucker spent the majority of her life in Hattiesburg , Mississippi . At the age of 6, she was cast as Satchel Paige's youngest sister in the movie production of his life, “Satchel Paige: Don't Look Back”. Being an active and imaginative child, Sethe would sing all the time despite her parents' on-going requests for quiet. Often times she would gather her family members in the family room to applaud her performances after dinner. She loved to perform in front of anyone who was willing to watch.Through middle school, Sethe dedicated most of her time to choreographing and helping the show choir, of which she was a part of for four years. Interested in the Suzuki method of piano, she began taking lessons at the age of ten. Because of her unique voice at such a young age, Sethe began singing at local weddings at the age of twelve.Sethe then entered high school and wanted to find other avenues to expand on the talents she already possessed.
