I'M NO WHERE NEAR A PROFESSIONAL, BUT I SURE DO LOVE PLAYIN' THE PART...I'm a hobby singer, poet & lyricist. Writing is from deep within my soul and a release, my ticket to be real. I love poetry, so my songs have that poetic flare to it. Most of my songs are my like journal entries...Enjoy the music...let me know what you think. Advice, Kudos, Constructive Criticism, etc.Many artists influence my love for music and writing. India Arie, Alana Davis, John Mayer, Mary J. Blige, Alicia Keys, Corrine Bailey Rae, Erykah Badu, Jill Scott, Javier, Mint Condition, Amel Larieux, Goapele, and the new jazzy style of Christina Aguilara. ... a lot of these artists and not limited to fall into that description to me I call natural and raw talent "Laid back", I like to call it, because they let it flow and poor out of them flaw and all -its real. I'm into very emotional...jazzy, natural, ol skool sounds but with a modern twist.Alot of legends influence my style of writing and singing: Ella, Billie, Sarah Vaughn, Donny Hathaway, Lena Horne, Judy Garland, Stevie Wonder, Phoebe Snow, Michael McDonald...and the list goes on.Music of course is my influence, my friends, my growth, my experiences too...depends on what I'm feeling that day. If I'm in the mood to write it, and I hear a sound or a beat that fits what I'm feeling. The story begins...ya feelin' me?Music is a journey...it's a journey for all artists. And it's an exhilarating ride...ever changing, never bored...
