Their shared journeys were accompanied by the melodies of classic tracks, creating an impromptu duet session. As they sang, her mother introduced her to the magic of harmonies. Life wasn't without its hardships. With her mother juggling multiple jobs, she often found herself alone, managing household chores and cooking meals. This early-onset responsibility molded her into a self-reliant individual, a trait that served her well in her musical pursuits.

Such triumphs paved her way to the Chicago School of Performing Arts through a scholarship. In the halls of the University, her musical journey truly flourished. Not only was she an integral part of the academic ensembles, playing rhythm guitar and lending her voice, but she also collaborated with fellow musicians. These birthing bands primarily dabbled in rock and soul.
