Life is a song and I long for its melody; a combination of pitch and rhythm on a human scale, helping me to make sense of my individual purpose. My songs have been accented by sharps and flats intermixed with ranges of sound, silence, and divinely timed events.

MY BEGINNINGS - THE CHOIR

  As many have, I started in the church choir, but I became an artist when I was given a poetry assignment at age 12. By the age of 14, I was a vocal music major in high school and learning how to incorporate my gifts of music with having a unique way of using words. At a young age, music and poetry became my way of uncensored expression, as well as the vehicle which began to help me make sense of the world’s complicated matters.

 

MY PHILOSOPHY - 2017

 My goal is to Take my talents and abilities to the world stage and be unguarded and honest with my music, while opening minds and elevating a global take on how beautiful the song of life can be, even when the pitch and rhythm may seem a bit off. This is the viewpoint I speak from.

INFLUENCES - 2017

Drawing influences from artists ranging from the Kings of Pop and Rock, Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley, to the likes of Hip-Hop legends Tupac Shakur and Kanye West, while mixing in the classic sounds of The Beatles and Eagles, my music is of an untold genre. The best classification is a melodic compilation constructed of Spoken Word, Alternative Hip-Hop, House, Pop, and R&B/Soul. Put it all together and it’s my life in lyrics.
