Talented Performing Artist When did you first get into music? I have always been into music. I grew up in a family of musicians. My mom is a composer, my dad plays the guitar, one of my brothers plays drums and guitar. I wrote my first song when I was 10, and I performed solo in the church for the first time when I was 9. Music has always been a big part of my life, and music has always been a way for me to express myself. Ever since I was a little girl I’ve been dreaming about being an artist! But to be honest, it wasn’t until after my divorce that I finally understood where to go with my music and how to get there. I needed to restart and focus on myself and my true passion to find myself again, and that was through music!

What genre of music do you perform? I would say a mix of soul/rnb and pop. I call it atmospheric/cinematic soul/rnb. I have also been working on a EDM/pop sound that I will get myself more into. Who or What inspired you to pursue a career in music? My mother has been my biggest inspiration since she has always played music for us kids and she was touring around the world when I was a kid. She can play any instrument you give her! Strong female artists such as Beyonce, Rihanna, Madonna, Whitney Houston and Alicia Keys have also been a great source of inspiration to me! They are all strong women doing their thing and have taken their talent to the stars! They have given me strength to follow
