"Music has always influenced every aspect of my life. I grew up in Richmond, Virginia and spent my early years dancing and singing the Barney song for anyone who would listen. Even when I started my modeling career at two years old I wanted to have the music playing to strike a pose. My parents would take me to a variety of concerts and Broadway Shows everywhere including New York City and London. I danced for 6 years at Broadway Dance Center without air-conditioning. I associated music with life experiences and happy moments. I started taking piano lessons at my school in Richmond, found myself a member of the National Guild, and learned that music can be created in addition to being learned. Soon I began writing music and adding lyrics. I started recording in a Richmond Studio when I was 11. I was fascinated with the process and the artistry of making records. I recorded my first original songs after moving to Los Angeles when at 13 I was discovered at a local dance studio. I was asked to meet a top A & R executive at Capitol Records and sing for him. Little did I know it would grow into a transforming musical adventure! I was introduced to Adrienne Bailon, a member of Disney’s Cheetah Girls/3LW and got to cut my first song with her. I was elated that Infant Records picked up 2 of the songs. Suddenly, I saw myself on iTunes and was being followed by ABC Primetime Live, 20/20 and was asked to appear on Good Morning America. I still continue to train my voice and master my dance steps at various studios, including Millennium, knowing a career is a journey of continual learning and growing. Currently I have recorded 16 original songs and have starred in and produced three original music videos.”
