Exceptional vocals with years of experience as a performer. Both RnB and Soul. Grew up on Aretha Franklin, Chaka Khan and Gladys Knight. Was opening act for the O'Jays, Kurtis Blow, and the late Phylis Hyman. Piano, drums and some acoustic guitar are other skills I enjoy while performing onstage. Played a couple of sets in Las Vegas with my late uncle Ollie Woodson of the Temptations. Singing is my life and passage!

Most definitely Aretha Franklin, The Emotions, and Chaka Khan. Growing up with a family of singers and musicians, along with my grandfather being a pastor, we could only listen to the radio outside the house or in the car! Singing on street corners by the time I was five sling with playing piano at my grandfathers church, I mimicked Aretha Franklin which was welcomed by my family and my church. My sister and two cousin recorded in Gary, Indiana when I turned 10 years old. Everyone referred to me as Baby Aretha. We would first rehearse our harmonies by learning the Emotions songs. They were a big influence on my sound as a songwriter then the Clark Sisters added to my gospel flavor!
