Q. What inspired you to be a singer?
A. I grew up with my entire family doing something musically, from my father playing guitar, being the lead singer of a Quartet group, to my mother singing in the church, and my sibling singing as well playing many different instruments. Music was such a major part of my everyday life growing up, so I didn’t really have a choice for it to be a major part of me.
Q. Tell us about your new single “Baby I Love you”?
A. “Baby I Love You” is a slight glimpse into the deepest and most intricate chambers of my heart. This is a song that comes from love and I wanted that love to be expressed through this song... There is so much negativity in the world, broken relationships, and music that supports that today unfortunately I felt as though we needed a good Love song.
Q. What do you think is missing in today’s R&B music?
A. I believe that it has lost its sense of authenticity to an extent. I’m a lover of music in general. However, I think that almost anything goes with music today. I think we’re missing the art of timeless music. The message that was once so impactful to the point of remembering where you were when you 1st heard a song , who you remember being in love with or breaking up with and all of the emotions that went along with it somehow has disappeared. There are still a few artist that are trying to keep that original I do understand the industry like everything else has evolved with time and with us a people being innovative we will always find a ways to seemingly make things work favorably for us. Do you remember putting foil on the TV antenna to get better reception? That was all before HD, UHD, LED, OLED, LCD smart TVs and cable. Just like tape recorders to tape players, CDs and now Bluetooth. Everything has evolved so much but music is by far is one of the things that hasn’t gone anywhere just evolved.
Q. What has been one of your biggest accomplishments being in this industry?
A. My ability to see my work transcend language barriers, culture barriers and enhance someone else’s life. Simply Being able to touch the lives and hearts of people through music.
Q. Tell us one fun fact about yourself?
A. I Love to take care of people and make others smile.

A. I have so many musical influences in my life from life experiences all the way down to love and relationships. Favorite singer.... Whew.... So many….
