Music is not just a hobby or a pastime, but the inspiration to my life. Since I can remember I’ve been humming and singing around the house, until one day my mother decided to put that talent to use by putting me in the church choir. From then on, I knew that singing was something that would forever be a part of me. From the church, I went on to perform with my high school choir (John L. LeFlore in Mobile, AL), giving me the opportunity to perform in local town events and even on a cruise ship. After graduation, life took me on a different course than planned, seeing me through college, getting married, and starting a family. Although I wouldn’t see the stage for some years to come, music was my constant companion. Eventually after moving to Atlanta, GA, I had the opportunity to audition and perform in a Christmas play called A Soulful Christmas created by Stepp Stewart. That same year I became the newest member of The Upscale Band AKA A1 Party Band and have been privileged to perform with other local bands, such as Vision Quest and Longevity. I’ve had the opportunity to perform for the Make a Wish Foundation, VEO, CoStar, Fayette Care Clinic, Sweet Georgia’s Juke Joint, Fulton County Schools Retirement, and many other great organizations, festivals, and venues in and around the Greater Atlanta area. Going forward I can’t wait to see what opportunities will be opened as I continue to grow musically. As I see it, I’m just really getting started!
