I was raised in the church and I remember my first performance I did in front of my whole church, it was about 150 people. At that time I was five years old, and I sung like I was 15 meaning no fear at all. From there on singing has been a BIG part of my life. I sing ALL the time, its apart of my life, like breathing..I have to do it! My inspirations are a lot of old artist such as Aretha Franklin, Roberta Flack, Donny Hathaway, Luther Vandross and so many more..I guess that's why I have such a soulful voice.
