My style is deeply rooted in the rich legacy of Motown, R&B and Gospel music, spanning from the soulful sounds of the 1960s through the dynamic vocal powerhouses of the 2000 to the present. Influenced by iconic artists such as Aretha Franklin, Gladys Knight, Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Celine Dion, Natalie Cole, and Kelly Clarkson, Yolanda Adams, Deniece Williams, and Cece Winans. I bring a blend of soul, elegance, and heartfelt emotion to every performance. Though I have a deep connection to Motown R&B and Soul tunes, my humble beginnings in the church and my spiritual connections and dedication will not allow me to abandon this upbringing. My overall message is inspiration and love for "God is Love". I use my gifts and talents in honor of Him and my fellow man and woman!
I basically perform utilizing performance tracks and cover songs when performing solo, however I have been backed by live bands as well when they have needed to collaborate with a singer.

From the heartfelt sounds of gospel to the timeless rhythms of R&B, I have been expressing the joys, sorrows, and beauty of life through music since childhood. Growing up in the church and performing in high school choirs and college level talent shows, my journey has inspired many, as I have shared my gift through countless performances over the years. Each performance is an opportunity to connect with audiences and create memorable moments through the universal language of music.
My music and the songs I sing is more than a performance—it’s a way to touch the soul. My passion is to bring reflection, comfort, and contentment to listeners, if only for a moment, leaving a lasting impression on their hearts.
Now embracing the ease of retired life, I am eager to share my passion for music on a more professional level and within a broader arena. With years of experience and a lifelong love for singing, I am ready to embark on the next chapter of my musical journey.
