Myspace Layouts at Pimp-My-Profile.com / Marroon paise

First and foremost, this child of God is a straight up and down preachers kid who loves the life shes been given and blessed with! From the moment I emerged from the womb, God told me everyday that He created me to sing, so.....HERE I AM WORLD- THE QUEEN IS HERE!!!!! The church opened the door for me to SANG and those of you who go to church (or CHUCCCHHH) know what I mean. My older sisters opened the door of R&B/Pop (Sheila E.-Prince-Cherelle), Hip Hop (East Coast at the time, ya'll know Run DMC-Kurtis Blow-Afrika Bambatta) and ofcourse Rock (Duran Duran, Boy George, Aerosmith & you know) but on levels that I didnt know even existed. And ofcourse, my beautiful down to earth parents showed me evrything from The Clark Sisters to Shirley Caeser to Otis Redding and Jackie Wilson.......I love my life! I am still on this musical journey but so far I've run into some awesome people and been able to work with them in so amazing places as well. So get ready world- get ready and stay ready because once you get a dose of me....you will never let go!*Have performed on stages that opened for Bill Wyman of The Rolling Stones, Jive Records artist Samantha Jade, ClearSoul, Aaron Akins, Merl Saunders and Melvin Seals both former organ players for Jerry Garcia of the Greatful Dead, Eddie M. world renowned Sax player (who has toured with Prince, Sheila E, Stevie Knicks, Eric Benet, Beyonce, and the list goes on), and I have also done background vocals for an event with Sheila E.*Have done gigs at the hottest clubs and venues as solo artist and background singer all over, such as Pete Escovedos Latin & Jazz Club( Ca.), B.B. Kings (New York), New Daisy Theatre(TN), Q's Joint (Ca.) House Of Blues (Disneyworld Florida), The Stone Pony(New Jersey), Temple Bar(Ca.), B.B. Kings (Ca.) Las Vegas Convention Center (CES Convention/Sony Erickson) etc.*Available to do gigs all over*Professional background singerGet Your Own! | View SlideshowGet Your Own! | View SlideshowWOW!!!!!
