About Me

Performance has never been a obstacle in my life. Growing up in Detroit has given me many talents! In a competitive city where every talent is a advantage, I've always wanted to be a step ahead of the game. With the help of my dear friend Micheal Turner Aka (Mr Little), I knew singing was where my passion would be. I moved to Nashville, TN in 1993, and began singing with a local band "Autumn". I started working with Fo'Real records to record "It's All True" with local artist Kool Daddy Fresh. I've performed with many artist such as, Gary Jenkins(Silk), Kimberly Lock, Maysa(Incognito), Kloud9, Stacey Mitchhart, Sheri Hauck and many others. I've also opened for various artist, Alex Bugnon, Regina Belle, Fantasia, Kirk Whalum, Tina Maria, Frankie Beverly Maze, and Shanice. My greatest accomplishment has been the compilation"The Vibe Room" produced by KENDALL DUFFIE of Kloud 9. Myself along with Nneka Renacole Robb a.k.a Nacole bring the group "2~Way" and we were featured on the compilation with various local artist. As a result our song "Everything You Need" was the No.1 chart song in UK's Blues & Soul Hip List Chart. Now as a solo artist, I look forward to the road ahead. Music has, and will always take first priority in my life. God has given me the talent to deliver soulful, meaningful, hurtful, and joyful expression of reality in everyday life through my music.
