I can truthfully say I started singing at the age of one. My mom would always play music around me, teach me songs and we’d just sing together. I didn’t start out knowing I wanted to be a professional singer though, I wanted to be a famous actress/Broadway actress. When I was five, I got my first acting agent (Tannen’s Talent Agency) where I booked my first Quaker Oatmeal National Commercial. I then went on to Shirley Grant Management where I booked my first Broadway debut as Young Nala in Disney’s “The Lion King” on Broadway. After that I continued with “The Lion King” National Cheetah Tour and then moved on to play Young Celie in Oprah Winfrey’s 1stNational Tour of “The Color Purple”. I was about 14 when Ireturned home from touring. I was homeschooled for all those previous years, so I thought it’d be best to just stay local in New York and go to a regular high school. I attended Ramapo High School for my freshman and sophomore year and then went on to The Professional Performing Arts High School as a musical theatre major. It was there that I started taking songwriting classes and really creating my own melodies along with some of my close friends. After I graduated PPAS, I attended Pace University as a musical theatre major. After the first semester I dropped out and decided to pursue my singing and songwriting seriously. Many people asked me why I thought it was okay to drop out of college or what am I going to do I have no plan b, but surprisingly I wasn’t scared or nervous at all for what the future would bring because I felt free to do what I wanted and what I knew would make me happy. Within the past 6 months I have been recording and creating new music, while doing shows at local venues in NYC such as The Beluga Bar and Webster Hall to name a few. I had an EP “Phoenix” set to release in October however I felt I was rushing my creative process and I have decided to push it back to next spring. I would have to say the most stressful thing about doing what I love would be making sure to remain FOCUSED in my own lane. It’s so easy to get down on yourself or over excite yourself with the people and situations surrounding you. My main goal is to have thousands…millions of people listen to my music and find a connection to it. I want my music to inspire other upcoming artists, or people going through personal problems, or people who even just love listening to pretty melodies. I want my music to affect people.
