About Me


A little bit about what I do...
I was Born and raised in Los Angeles, California, and started singing and performing when I was about 6 years old. I have been privileged enough to perform all over the Los Angeles and Greater Los Angeles areas including the Catalina Bar and Grill, The Baked Potato, as well as throughout the Northeast: Berklee Performance Center, Outerland, The Bitter End, The Paradise, Ryles Jazz Club, to name a few.
I continued my development at Berklee College of Music and in May of 2007, walked (ran, haha) away with a dual B/A in Music Business/Management and Vocal Performance. Equally passionate about both Business and Performance, I recently moved to Brooklyn, NY to make these little dreams, big realities.
I have been blessed to share the stage, work and/or perform with:
Jennifer Holliday (of the original "Dream Girls" fame), Tower of Power (benefitting Rocco Prestia), Gloria Estefan, Walter Beasley (Recording Artist/Saxophonist), Jetro Da Silva (Whitney Houston), Richard Evans (Arranger, Natalie Cole), Lisa Thorson (Vocalist/Clinician/Professor of Voice), to name a few.

This vision has already been represented by many talented acts such as The Real Live Show, The Adam Deitch Project, Robert Glasper's The Experiment, The RH Factor, Chris "Daddy" Dave, The Foundation Project, Igmar Thomas & The Cypher, and more commercial artists such as The Roots, Talib Kweli, Mos Def, Common, and producers Madlib and JDilla - to name a few.
