My passion for the arts blossomed at a young age, evident in my spirited and energetic nature. My innate drive for artistic expression led to immersing myself in various disciplines throughout my adolescence, culminating in my acceptance to the esteemed Berklee College of Music. There, I collaborated with industry legends like Quincy Jones and Patrice Russian, and trained under renowned choreographers such as "Otis the Creator," known for his work on The Wiz. My journey reached new heights when I was cast in a production helmed by Michael Bearden, Michael Jackson's last Musical Director. I then went on to share stages with Stevie Wonder and many others. Today, I nurture my own talented children and teach vocal techniques, songwriting, music theory, and college preparation to aspiring singers, continuing to inspire and empower the next generation of performers.
