About Me

Born singing in the beautiful state of New Mexico, music has always been everything to me. Since elementary school to graduating best female musician in high school I knew it was my calling and my passion. Hit the scene shortly after school with a variety of bands doing a lot of Funk, Soul and R&B. Bands like "Mama Knows", "The Funktion", and "Shake". I became a memeber of an original band called the "Groove Junkies" where I wrote and created some great music and experience. Went on the road and checked out this crazy nation. People were great and showed much love to the Groove Junkies. Unfortunately we all had different destinys. I was living in Taos (a very spiritual place), I really got down and dirty with my singing. I started singing Jazz which turned my world around. I knew if I could sing Jazz I could sing anything. That opened the door to a beautiful realm of all kinds of music. I eventually moved to Chicago, thats where I really grew up and had some hard times, but that really helps for song writting, alot of feelings. I came back to New Mexico to start a new page in my life. I knew something was suppose to happen. I threw myself back into the music and it saved me. I started doing some work in the hip hop scene with some friends of mine "Tabulrasa" and led to other great projects. I am now working with the amazing 22 Spinx, where we will be working on a duo album hopefully out by Christmas. Check it keep your eyes open for my solo album coming at you soon. Much love, peace and harmony
