Your influences?
I always had my mind, my energies and my heart deeply rooted in music. I remember hearing an interview with Ray Charles and he said, "There is soul in all kinds of music if you have the heart to hear it."
That philosophy always resonated deep within me, because I have loved and been involved in so many different kinds of music: from Contemporary Top 40 to Opera, from musical theater to madrigals, from choral groups to church choirs. However, the music that ALWAYS brought my heart home was the kind of stylings inspired by the likes of classic Divas, Nancy Wilson, Ella Fitzgerald and Barbra Streisand.
When forming my own show, and as I breathe life into my new CD, the legacy of these consummate singers, serve as a model of excellence for choosing my material and presenting my own individual style. Ultimately, all of my songs are very meaningful to me.
