My strong desire to sing started at the age of 8 and stems from watching and admiring Diana Ross on television and decided that I wanted to sing and dress like the great Diana Ross. At age 18, I changed the “N” in my name from Lanette to LaNette because I thought it would look better in lights. For years now, I have been building my portable vision board (3ring binder) with dreams, goals, and aspirations

In 2018 while on a vacation with friends, I mentioned the reoccurring dream of singing on the stage at Carnegie Hall in a gold gown. One of our friends says, "Start looking for your gown You don't prepare for rain without an umbrella, right?" One Saturday in August while looking for the gold gown in my dream, I submitted my "Favor" music video to DCINY (Distinguised Concerts International - New York) for a potential opportunity to sing at Carneige Hall The following week, I was contacted by DCINY to set up a conference call to discuss the possibility. Within four days, I received an email of congratulations for being selected to sing at Robert Ray's Gospel Mass at Carnegie Hall with DCINY On June 9, 2019, I was in New York with 37 family and friends that came to support my dream becoming a reality

Five days after the concert, I received another email that said, "DCINY Alumni! You can now be a part of DCINY events without auditioning " (Look at GOD!) Though I wasn't able to sing in my gold gown, my dream of singing on the Carnegie Hall stage became a reality The fact that I wasn't able to sing in my gold gown says to me that either I will be invited back or there will be a similar or even greater opportunity!

With GOD, ALL things are possible! I am a firm believer that dreams do come true! Just have faith in God, the gifts He's given you, and work hard until they manifest in your life! You are never too old to realize and enjoy your dreams
