Currently a graduating senior at Howard University`s Pharmacy School and will become a Doctor of Pharmacy in May 2005.   

 

 

 

Born and raised in Oxnard, Southern Californina, I've been singing since I was a child.  At age 3, I completed my first full length recording which included the ABCs and various nursery rhymes and hymns!  I still continue to sing solos at my church and school programs.  At age 12, I entered the jazz night club environment with the Raw Silk Band in California.  

 

My voice has truly developed over the years as I sing in the Howard Gospel Choir and the HU Rankin Memorial Chapel Choir.  Special thanks to Mr. Arphelius Paul Gatling III!

 

Over the years, I have attained a professional background and experience in singing Gospel, Sacred, Spiritual, Inspirational, Classical, Jazz and R&B music.  

 

Since summer 2002 - I`ve been invited to sing with an awesome saxaphone player and his band in Chicago!!!  Ray Silkman fits the a profile of a musician with successful potential.  "So Saxual" is his his best song on the radio today!!!  He is well-known in the Chicago area.  In the Washington DC area, you may hear my voice with the Just Us Band or with Soul Shack.

 

In 2000 I joined Marc Williams and Higher Calling..."For I Know, Oh Lord, You Called Me By Name"

 

I have also been challenged as a writer and have completed some original songs.  "Just Friends" was recently aired on WPGC 95.5FM and you can watch the video link for "Left Behind".  Other songs include, "If", "No Mas Murallas", and "Let's Take it Indoors". 

 

Recently, I have performed several solo events where I was challenged with Spirituals and more inspirational classics - they're always fun!!! 

 

Now, I'll welcome any invitation!

 

My dream is to continue to showcase my voice professionally.  I actually want to share my talent with the likes of Walt Disney animated, film or live musicals.

 

If you like what you see and hear, or if you have some insight and want to teach me more - please contact me!

 
God Bless!
