I have always had a life long passion for music and writing. My father sings, plays bass guitar and keyboard. Some of my mother’s poetry has been published and she has been given recognition for other poetry that she has written. My sister sings in a church choir. From them I was influenced to pursue music and writing.

I enjoy singing and listening to all types of music. My style of music is an easy listening mixed with Hip Hop, R&B, Rock, Funk and Country. Many people have complimented and can relate to my songs. I have heard some people say that it is as if I’m singing about their life experiences.

In 2006, my CD single “What else do you want?” was released, I performed with Donald Trapani, an Elvis tribute artist, doing fund raisers events and special engagements, completed music recordings in Nashville, TN, I’m featured on DO-P’s CD “Will I Be Heard?” and was given recognition for my poetry. I received an Editors Award and was nominated as 2006 Poetry Ambassador and Poet of the year by the International Library Of Poetry. Just as my mother’s poetry, I also have poems published. So far I only have two, which are “In The Mirror“ and “Don‘t Ever Say“.

In 2007, my CD “Fulfilled” was released. The CD is mixed with the styles of music that I enjoy and features two new upcoming artists producers, singers and songwriters Foresight (Eric Early) and Do-P (Robert Markowski). I recorded a DVD interview and my song “What else do you want?“ was featured on the Songwriters TV Show in Nashville, TN.

I am currently working with other bands, songwriters, and singers writing lyrics plus singing lead vocals in the band Consider This. I also enjoy volunteering speaking and helping others that have endured domestic violence. Even though I am writing lyrics and singing, I have not given up on poetry. My book of poetry has not taken a back seat; it is just on the passenger side, so to speak and has helped a lot with songwriting.

I give ALL thanks to God for the precious gifts that I have and will continue to positively inspire people through songs and poetry.
