Empress speaks with conviction and passion, “a higher power has my life now; my path is already set”. This path will take her from her current home of Toronto, into the world. Performing ever since her childhood days, the youngest of three has been writing and singing as long as she can remember. Her phenomenal stage presence and captivating stage show are both results of the countless community performances, exhibitions and contests Empress has under her belt. “Writing songs allowed me to get through the many rough roads of my life. Especially in my younger days, the solace I took from writing love songs allowed me to deal with my relationships and I got to know me a lot better”. Admitting that many times these writing sessions has actually brought tears to her eyes, Empress Associates soulful song writing to the best counseling one can have. From the song writing came the performances. At the tender age of 15, Empress hit the dance-hall scene with a vengeance.

The (recording) booth is MY place. I am so comfortable there; am at peace there and it allows me to channel all my emotions I need to make my words real.” The Queen feels it is now time for her Reign. Although a constant learner and perfectionist, Empress is comfortable with the wisdom amassed thus far and is ready to leap forward. Bigger festival performances, music videos and full length albums are in the future, Armed with her faith and coupled with her superior performing and song writing skills, this Queen’s reign will be a long one.
