Overview
Hi! I’m a singer/songwriter currently accepting opportunities for solo performances, BGVs, and session work across a diverse range of styles, including R&B, Gospel, Classical, Musical Theatre, Neo-Soul, and Pop.
With a Bachelor’s degree in Music and a minor in Classical Voice, I bring a strong foundation in vocal technique, musicality, versatility, and performance to every project. I’m passionate about collaborating with artists, producers, choirs, churches, theatre productions, and other creatives to bring music to life.
Available for live performances, background vocals, studio/session work, and collaborative projects. I’d love to connect and create something beautiful together!
