Tell us a little bit about yourself! When did you discover your love for music?
I discovered my love for music when I was 11 years young. My school teacher asked me to sing The Black National Anthem for an after school function. I was so nervous and I froze mid song, but picked back up in a few minutes by managing to get through it!
How long were you living in the Philippines? Coming from a military family, have you lived in any other exciting places?
I lived in the Philippines for the first 8 months of my life, then moved to Brandon, FL (a suburb of Tampa Bay) where I grew up in the same house - that's the extent to my military family travel - although I traveled with school and fun to many states in the USA. However, I caught the international bug while in High School and had a Foreign Exchange Student stay at my place my entire Junior Year then again during my Senior. Both were German .- great chocolate! ALL ON MY OWN: while In College I went on a missions trip to Dominican Republic, studied abroad in Costa Rica, Visited Panama & Nicaragua, ran the Honolulu Marathon in Hawaii, graduated, then explored England, and Italy. I then moved New York City. While living in Manhattan I booked a Fitness Modeling Gig that took me to Toronto, Canada. I was then blessed with a singing contract at Tokyo Disney Sea, so I was in Japan for 7.5 months, came back and moved directly to Los Angeles, CA. A film I auditioned for back in NYC called me to film in Guyana, South America. Most recently I traveled to Australia and New Zealand in 2017.
It sounds like you have had the opportunity to perform at a lot of awesome shows. What has been your favorite performance so far, and why?
My favorite performance will be my NEXT SHOW - why? Because HOPEFULLY you'll be there!! Oooo! From the past you mean :~P I would say Tokyo Disney Sea because it was so consistent and the fans were so kind and friendly, truly loving and warm people. NiteLight on Sunset Strip was loads of fun too! What was your deciding factor in becoming a solo artist?
The ability to express myself fully, while providing opportunities for other musicians. Sometimes my heart is so full, I could burst.
From your bio, we know that your current goal is to play at music festivals worldwide. What music festival would be your #1 dream to play at?
COCHELLAAAAA!!!! Also Tomorrowland!! :) What can we expect to see from you in 2018 and beyond?
