I am currently working as a solo artist, so the musicians I work with will vary. So far, I've had the honor of working with some really amazing musicians who have all worked with some of the greats! For live shows, I usually work with Gerry Brown on drums (Stevie Wonder), C.C. Thomas Jr. on bass (Diana Ross), Billy Steinway, Ming Freeman or Frankie Crawford on piano/keys (Jeffrey Osbourne), Michael Sechrest (Diana Ross) or John Huldt on guitar and Paulie Cerra (Lionel Richie) on sax!
Influences: I love Old School R&B, Blues and Jazz. I would say my biggest influences and favorite artists to listen to are Aretha Franklin, Etta James, Janice Joplin, Billie Holiday, Dianne Reeves, Nina Simone, Al Green and Marvin Gaye.
Sounds Like: I have been told I or my music sounds like several different people. The funny thing is they are all over the board! So I'll tell you what I've been told, then you can listen for yourself, come watch a show and tell me what you think! I've been compared to or reminded people of Etta James, Janis Joplin, Rikki Lee Jones, Sheryl Crow, and Dolly Parton.
